| EDUCATION | The equivalent of high school in the U.K. |
| ALTERNATE CAREER? | I would have loved to have been a lawyer, but I probably would have needed to have stayed in school for that! |
| STAYING FIT | Badly. I spend way too many hours on planes and desperately need to do better at finding a balance! |
| FAVORITE VACATION | I took my family to China and Japan a few years ago. It was a magnificent cultural and bonding experience. |
