I recently launched Westbridge Realty Group, a full service investment sales firm in New York City. I am currently focused on building a team and structure that will dominate the middle-market here in New York. How do you unwind from a busy day in real estate? Exercise, watch an hour of mindless TV, go out for dinner. Favorite book or author: "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson Favorite movie: "Zoolander" Last song you downloaded?

If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? I would have dinner with Arnold Rothstein, the famous gambler from the 1920's, known for rigging the 1919 World Series. I would eat at his "office," Lindy's Restaurant on 49th and Broadway. What is your dream job? My dream job is what I'm currently doing, having my own company doing something I enjoy.
