Describe yourself in one sentence
“When I played, I played as hard as I could” – Larry Bird
Where are you from and how does that influence who you are?
I grew up and went to high school in the Boston area and have lived and worked in New York City for over 20 years now. Growing up in a city and living in a city with nice spring and summers but harsh winters and a population where people grind it out every day no matter what (no offense intended to other cities, but these are not resort beach communities year-round) instilled in me something that became part of my drive and ambition in everything I do.
Three words to describe yourself
Ambitious, outspoken, and determined.
Three achievements you are most proud of
The three things I’m most proud of are (i) running both the NYC marathon and Philly Marathon within 3 weeks of each other and getting a PR in both of them in 2018; (ii) achieving professional business goals in the face of people who tried to prevent me from succeeding and seeing the reaction on their faces when I did achieve those business goals; and (iii) taking control of my health after a health scare in 2013.
