Personal Trivia

Fun Fact 1

City or country?

I’ve lived in big cities my whole life. I was born in San Francisco, raised in New York, started my career in DC, and have been back in New York for about 15 years now.

Fun Fact 2

Where do you go when you want to escape the city?

I try to make it to the Finger Lakes as much as possible, where my family has spent every summer since the 1950s. After the 5-hour drive, you feel like you’re a million miles away.

Fun Fact 3

What would you do if you had unlimited time?

I would play tennis and walk around the Reservoir in Central Park every day.
