If you gave the next commencement speech at your alma mater, what would the message be? The message would focus on the importance of continuous learning, improvement of oneself and one's world. Basking in the glow of their recent accomplishment, my speech would challenge graduates to understand the success of graduation in the broader scheme of life as one 'comma' in a series of future struggles and successes.
What three factors contributed to your success today? My experiences as a child, the role models of my parents, and the role models of my early law firm mentors.
If society got together 100 years from now to build a statue of you, what would the plaque say? It would either quote the poetry from a men's bathroom wall, or the plaque itself would be covered with a hand-written sign that reads: 'If you haul it, you can have it.' If you want me to be aspirational, I would like the plaque to reflect a life that included an appreciation for family, success in business, and contributing towards making the world a better place.
During my off time, I am most passionate about… What is “off time”?
What is the most exciting destination you've ever traveled to? Israel
Where is the one place you want to travel in your lifetime? Mauna Kea (highest peak in Hawaii, and tallest mountain on earth when measured from base to summit)
Favorite Connecticut destinations: Bear Mountain and The Harwinton Fair
