“I actually really do like action comic-book movies, mainly because my two boys and I enjoy watching them together, but also because it places in stark contrast the dichotomy between good and evil.”

Why he chose to specialize in this field: I love working with entrepreneurs and business owners by assisting them in growing and protecting their businesses.

Favorite place: The ocean and beach anywhere.
Hero: Atticus Finch.
Recent reading: Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman by Robert K. Massie.
Netflix obsession: My wife and I binge-watched all six seasons of Downton Abbey.
