| What counts for real career satisfaction? | Always home and family. That’s where I feel satisfaction on a daily basis. |
| What brings you pleasure in your job description? | What brings me pleasure is a successful outcome, no matter what the job. Whether it’s as simple as a fixed computer issue or making sure the team is paid on time, to the pleasure of placing a client’s ad in a strategic location for the highest visibility and volume while being a good steward of the client’s budget. |
| What’s at the top of your list of favorite foods? | Anything someone else is cooking. |
| What turns you on about advertising? | Advertising makes the world go around. Everything is propelled by advertising, from religion to politics. |
| What TV show would you watch over and over? | “MASH.” I could watch reruns of “MASH” all day long. |
| What hidden talent do you have? | I grew up playing golf — starting when I was just a kid. Unfortunately, it’s not like riding a bike. |
| What turns you on? | A great bottle of wine, the warm sun and a white, sandy beach. |
