A typical day in my life includes…
Work, work, work, always. Party on a bike with Stephanie Schwartz at The Madison, Phoenix, Jiu Jitsu at Black Steel Fitness, or training at The Village, then home to spend time with my wife and baby boy.
I was born to be…
in New York City. An amazing place, but it doesn’t compare to Arizona. The sunsets alone are decisive.
My favorite thing about Arizona is…
The communities and the people. It’s amazing to live with people who are so passionate about life and supporting each other through this journey.
I am listening to…
my wife always. But anything with a good beat. I just bought a Ford F-150 , so country music has been making the rounds. Country music sounds better when you have your boots on and your driving a truck.
My family…
are weird, but I love them anyway.
If I could have dinner with anyone it would be…
My grandfather, Roy Stalnaker, who passed a few years ago. He told the best stories and gave sage advise. I tear up of when I think of what Roy didn’t have the time to tell me.
One thing I couldn’t live without…
Something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to. I suppose that’s three things, but each is pretty important.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
A bellhop at a fancy hotel. I still think that would be cool.
I’m inspired by…
People who do the right thing.
The one person who motivates me is…
My son. I am motivated to provide him with the same or greater opportunities that were given to me.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
People’s lack of tolerance for others. That is the cause of most of the world’s problems.
The perfect day would be…
Me, a beer, and my family. In that order.
My first job was…
A receptionist at a New York spa.
My favorite escape…
Snowboarding – preferably Utah or Whistler – or Gardening.
My life…
is awesome.
I’m currently working on…
Building my law firm and daily happiness.
Always…
Tip well.
Never…
Go to sleep angry.
Favorite Quote…
“I don’t have all the answers. In life, to be honest, I failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my wife. I love my life. And I wish you my kind of success.”- Dicky Fox
Biggest Dream…
For the world to be a less dangerous place.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
Arrogance and narcissism. Not using a turn signal – so annoying.
