Favorite book or author: I know everybody has read them by now, but I love "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series. Favorite movie: "The Game" Last song you downloaded? Something by Sia I think? I downloaded her whole album recently. One word to describe your work environment: Casual-serious Rules to live by in business: Time kills all deals. Bite off more than you can chew...then chew it. If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? My grandfather, who I never met. And I'd go to French Laundry. That place looks incredible.
