If you had not chosen your current profession, what profession would you choose and why? I would have liked to be a college basketball coach. Basketball has always been my first love. Growing up in Syracuse and cheering for the Orange made me want to take that next step beyond playing the game.

What was a recent (or favorite) vacation you took? My wife and I went to Las Vegas for our honeymoon and five-year anniversary. We also went there more recently with friends. There is excellent food and resorts, and the entertainment is endless. It’s always a blast!

What do you do when you want to relax? I love to play golf and relax by the pool.

Favorite book (or movie, band or pop culture item, etc.): My Cousin Vinny. A classic!
