What is it you do at AS?
You know when someone asks, "What do you do?" or "What does your company do?" or "How can your services help me?" I work with a team of creative communicators to answer all of those questions about Algonquin Studios. In addition, I help people present to potential customers in an effort to deliver solutions that make our clients more competitive.

What do you spend time doing outside the office?
I spend lots of time with the loves of my life — my daughter Moira and wife Anne. I'm a home-improvement "weekend warrior," which means I'm excellent at getting in over my head on household projects. I pretend to be a golfer although I'm a sports nut — Yankees, Giants, Bills, and Sabres.

What's your favorite music genre?
U2, Bob Marley, David Gray, Dave Matthews Band, and I also like some Country and Classical music.

If you could do any job with no limitations what would it be?
I'd like to play third-base for the New York Yankees. A close second is some of what I do today I get to be a serial entrepreneur.

Tell us an interesting unknown fact about yourself?
I'm trying to learn to speak Chinese.

What you like most about AS?
There are opportunities everywhere! And, I get to work with people who genuinely care about me and my family. I've known that team who started AS since 1997 and since I've worked with them, I've never not wanted to go to work — not once.
