I see you like to travel and have been to more than 15 different places in the Caribbean. What are a few of your favorite places that you have visited?
In the Caribbean, I am partial to the islands of Grand Cayman and Sint Maarten. State side, I love the Florida Keys, Bar Harbor, Chicago, and the Bay Area. Elsewhere, my favorite trip has been to the Maldives. The time in transit was well worth it.

You are a big movie buff. What type of movies do you enjoy?
This is a difficult question, only because of how I categorize genres. I have a great appreciation for film as an art form, but also appreciate that some movies are made purely for entertainment value. For dramas, or “films,” I am a big fan of movies like The Deer Hunter, No Country for Old Men, Goodfellas, and of course, The Shawshank Redemption. When it comes to comedies, I love some Wedding Crashers, Napoleon Dynamite, and Billy Madison. Anchorman is the funniest movie of all time, and that is a scientific fact. When it comes to television shows, some of my old favorites include Breaking Bad, House, and Homeland. My wife and I are saddened to see Succession and Ted Lasso ending.

What made you decide to become an attorney?
I have always wanted to be in a profession that allows me to solve complex issues and get to know my clients on a personal level. I knew that I was interested in becoming an attorney early on, but wanted to get some real world experience before committing to such a demanding profession. Working as an attorney allows me to deal with clients face-to-face while getting the chance to do work that has a real impact and matters to clients. I like to think of my job as getting the opportunity to find the missing pieces to a client’s puzzle. The larger the puzzle, the more compelling the work.
