How would you describe yourself in three words?
Energetic, Driven, Creative
It’s a typical Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m., what are you doing?
Sitting in Panera catching up on Results Repeat work. That is, in fact, what I usually do most Saturdays. Is it less lame to point out that this is after I’ve read the NY Times and skated two hours in the morning, which is also part of my routine?
Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why?
Italy. I felt completely at ease, and there is always something to see or do. Plus, the people, food, and wine are great!
What characteristic do you most admire in others?
Dependability
If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?
Be President of the United States. Just for one day. Mostly because it would be a gift to the American people and the free world to give them a little break. My campaign promise would be to stay off Twitter.
What was the last gift you gave someone?
I donated money to the Red Cross for Harvey victims. But if that’s not the answer you are looking for, some cookies from Fourth Street Cookies.
If you could give advice to your 13-year-old self, what would you say?
You’ll eventually be far less insecure, so why not start 25 years earlier?
Tell us something that might surprise us about you.
For many years, I didn’t own a TV. This is probably surprising given my current Netflix addiction.
What are three things still left on your bucket list?
I don’t really have a bucket list but in the near future, I’d like to see Venice before it sinks into the sea, land an Axel (a 1.5 revolution figure skating jump I’ve been trying to do unsuccessfully for years) and lose 25 pounds.
What are you most proud of?
The fact that I didn’t parent away my son’s creativity. In business, it’s getting companies listed 3 times on the Philadelphia Business Journal’s list of best places to work, once for 4 Walls/Respage and twice for Results Repeat.
