EDUCATION: University of South Florida (BS),

FIRST JOB: I worked for my father’s sporting goods company.

DREAM ALTERNATE CAREER: I would try to ensure that future generations work to retain resilient and sustainable cities for the benefit of the entire planet. We do have a lot of problems all over the world and we’re seeing it every day with flooding, famine and everything else. These are all solvable problems.

SOMETHING SURPRISING: I’m an avid collector of rare sports memorabilia.

PASSION PROJECT: I like volunteering — when I travel, like when I’ve gone to Africa, I try to fit somewhere in that vacation some volunteer work with exotic animals.
