Who are you?
Chief Experience Officer at the American Medical Association and of my own life.
I was tired of having the same bag as every other guy. I wanted something that looked sleek, masculine and unique. The steel gray and brown leather brown combination is a stand-out without being overpowering or complicated, and the slim profile is just right.
Have you always been you or did you grow into yourself?
I've always been a late bloomer and continue to grow into myself.
Was there a moment when you realized you were you?
I think there have been several "me's" along the way. A new one started when I moved back to Chicago - more confident, more outgoing, less restrained and energized by the city.
What's a fault you enjoy about yourself?
I sing out loud all the time.
Is there a quote or motto that you live by?
Nearly all problems can be solved with the 3 P's: Patience. Perspective. Perseverance.
What event in life has shaped you most as a person, and how?
Marrying my wife. She changed my trajectory and helped me define a path toward a more authentic, creative and generous life.
What are you trying to learn?
How to keep adding more meaning to my life.
How would you describe your personal style?
I like to dress up, and I'm not afraid to stand out. Slim fit, fabric forward suits. Haircut every two weeks.
