What If???

By |February 14th, 2014|

Lose weight, save money, be a better person (whatever that means) , be more loving, be nicer, get a better job; the choices are infinite and since the commitment is primarily […]

Her argument is that I have lots of diversified interests (politics, sports, food, wine, family business, small business, restaurants) and experience (CPA, partner in charge of hospitality group & family business practice @ national firm, Chairman of 501(C)3 for Family […]

Network, Network, Network

 

I love to network!

I was at LaGuardia Airport waiting for my daughter to arrive from Burlington, Vermont where she was a freshman at the University. Her flight was delayed and to kill time I decided to park myself at a bar close to the arrival gate.  Sitting down next to two gentlemen […]
