One word to describe your work environment: Collegial
Rules to live by in business: Your word is the only thing you have to trade.
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? Sean Connery to figure out why he thought it was a good idea to make “Zardoz.” Given the nature of the film, I would take him to a great steakhouse, like Gallagher’s for red meat!
What is your DREAM job? (something other than your current job) Chef!
