MY WRITING / MY WORK

GET TO KNOW ME

Worst Job?

Soliciting donations from unsuspecting New Yorkers to protect the honeybee population. Don’t ask about my conversion rate.
Favorite Movie?

Whiplash. Maybe I was a jazz man in a past life.

Favorite Bad Song?

As Forefront’s resident Steely Dan fan, I plead the fifth.

THIS OR THAT

Early Bird or Night Owl?

Both!

Coffee or Tea?

Coffee — see answer above! I’ve been known to enjoy an iced cold brew in the dead of winter, which is probably the most New England thing about me.

Yankees or Mets?

Mets! National League baseball = real baseball.
