What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? I am enjoying selling and leasing commercial real estate in the upstate N.Y. area and continue to do this for awhile.
How do you unwind from a busy day in real estate? I put on my "daddy" hat and come home to help my wife, Megan, out with my 4 month old daughter, Natalie. No matter how the day went it is impossible to not have a smile on my face when I come home and see my daughter.

If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? Jesus Christ - I'd let him suggest where to go.
What is your dream job? Major League Baseball Player was always my dream job. I guess now it would be General Manager of the New York Yankees.
