Favorite book or author: I am reading a lot more lately. I am digging “Shoe Dog.”

One word to describe your work environment: Fun
Rules to live by in business: Tell them what you know. Determine what you don’t and never make up an answer you are not 100% sure is accurate.
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? My grandfather. I was too young to remember him, but told he was a great person by many. We would stay home and eat my grandmother’s cooking. Best meatball I have ever had. EVER!
What is your DREAM job? (something other than your current job) Retired billionaire.
