Q&A

What attributes do you admire most in an executive?

The ability to see things that others perhaps don’t see.

If you could spend a month in any city, where would you go?

Since my undergraduate degree was in French, I guess I have to say Paris!

What is your perfect day?

My perfect day is to be either Lakeside or in our boat way up in northern Vermont with my wife, three boys, and our black lab Dewey
