Favorite restaurant: 

My favorite restaurant changes with the season. I enjoy the Brewster Inn (Cazenovia, NY) in the summertime, Joey’s (Syracuse, NY) in the winter, Renato’s (Palm Beach, FL) in the Fall, and discovering a new restaurant on Spring travel.

Ideal day off from work:

Coffee and a morning walk with my wife, workout, round of golf with my best friend, and a couples dinner.

One thing you do every weekend without fail: 

Workout and cook.

Always start the workday with:

Drinking a cup of coffee and getting my kids to their schools so that there is space to think.

Philosophy, and thereafter I went to law school which was foundational to the way that I think in my work and life now.

I would say so many, but I always love the Caribbean. 

Professional advice you were once given that you'd continue to give to others:
