1. If you had to begin a different career, what would you do?
I would have to me in the medical industry. I was pre-med in college and never completed my dream of becoming a dentist.
2. What’s your most prized possession?
It would have to be the scrapbook that my mother made and gave to me on my 25th birthday. She was right… I was the perfect age to appreciate it!
3. Favorite drink?
It really depends on my mood, what I am eating, what the night is going to entail, etc…. but you can ALWAYS find me with a nice Cabernet or after dinner with a double shot of espresso and a side of sambuca.
4. What are you cutting out because of the economy?
I have really cut back on any and every excess expenses. 2009 was a humbling year for me and many others!
5. Fantasy purchase
It would have to be a nice home on the ocean. I don’t care how big it is, it just as to feel like home.
6. What can’t you live without?
Peanut butter! It’s sort of my weakness!
7. What’s next on your “to do” list?
It’s not only the next thing on my “to do” list, it’s always on my “to do” list, and that is to do something new that scares me every day….That is the only way I can continue to grow and learn..
8. Biggest regret?
Wow where do I begin? It would have to be when I moved away from my family for two years. How I missed them!
9. Cause that you’re most interested/involved in?
It would have to be bladder cancer research. It has a close relation to someone in my life and I would do anything to remove that worry from her everyday life!
10. Your dream day in OC?
It’s my every weekend. A day as close to the beach as I can get, with good company, good music, and a great glass of wine!
11. Favorite place for breakfast?
My bed!
12. What was the best day of your life?
There are so many! It would have to be my brothers last trip to visit me here in CA… It was the greatest Saturday afternoon in Newport I have ever had.
13. Last concert that you went to?
It was the OC Music Awards. What a great time that was!
14. Favorite vacation spot?
Vacation? What is that?! I think I have heard of that.
15. What do you love and hate about Orange County?
Love: I LOVE how many things there are to do here! It doesn’t matter what the day is, you can do whatever your little heart desires!
Hate: I don’t like how most people are concerned with their status. I feel it just gets in the way of getting to know someone’s true self.
16. Favorite books?
There are so many but I would have to say the Celestine Prophecy.
17. Favorite restaurants in Orange County
Orange County has some amazing restaurants! However, my “go to” restaurant would have to be AnQi.
18. Biggest accomplishment?
Before I moved to Orange County, I had successfully opened and marketed nine neurology outpatient clinics in 4 years. It was a passion that I had shared with my best friend and business partner. R.I.P. Nick Boehle.
19. What’s your biggest fear?
My biggest fear is to lose my family and also that I will not have a family of my own.
20. Secret most people don’t know about you.
Believe it or not, I am a shy guy when it comes to my personal life.
