Favorite book or author: R.J. Torbert, he has written two books the first called the “Face of Fear” and the second which was the sequel called “No Mercy” which was just released a few weeks ago.

One word to describe your work environment: Challenging

Rules to live by in business: Good begets good

If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead, but not related to you) who would it be and where would you go? As a Yankee Fan growing up I idolized Thurman Munson so it would naturally be him. It would be his choice; I just wish he was alive today as he was one hell of a ballplayer and teammate.

What is your DREAM job? (something other than your current job) One of my biggest passions is boating so my dream job would be to work in the development, manufacturing and sale of boats.
