1. The first job I ever had was as a paper boy in a very rough neighborhood of Dayton, Ohio. When I would go around to collect money, people would shut the door in my face. I learned that sometimes a job doesn’t actually get you paid. My worst experience at a job happened on a job that I loved. I was a projectionist in the Malibu cinema. I was more interested in one of the girls that worked there and got distracted and put the reels of the movie on in the wrong order. There was a riot in the theater as people demanded their money back and I was fired immediately. I was 15.
2. If I could eat only one snack for the rest of my life, it is without a doubt my Atkins Chocolate Peanut Butter bar. It tastes like a yummy dessert, but it’s low on sugar and a great way to not completely fall off of my healthy way of eating.
3. My favorite style icons are the timeless ones that look as good today as they did in their prime. Cary Grant. Steve McQueen. JFK. Although there is a part of me that secretly wants to look a little bit like Mick Jagger. Particularly in his football pants and Capezio ballet shoes phase.
4. My perfect day off would be sleeping in late, waking up and going surfing, coming home, hanging out with the family and the dogs, then maybe a quick nine holes of golf before sunset, a big family dinner and ending the day watching a big sports championship game outside by the fire.
5. The three items I cannot live without are my sunglasses (blue eyes and bright sun are not a good combination), my Atkins protein shakes (chocolate banana is my fave, it keeps me from starving to death at work) and my standup paddle board.
