One word to describe your work environment: Exhilarating
Rules to live by in business:
Keep focused on the big picture, but never lose sight of the details.
Treat everyone like a prospect. Treat every prospect like a client. Treat every client like they're family. Treat your family (and business family) like gold.
If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? I would invite both my Grandfathers to dinner. Unfortunately they passed away before I was born so I never had the opportunity to meet them. They have shaped my family in more ways than one, and I would be honored be able to sit, listen and learn from two very important men. We would go to Mulino's in White Plains.
What is your dream job? My dream job is where I am able to influence people in a positive way, create opportunities for those around me, make a difference in the community I serve and leave a positive lasting impression on those I come across.
