Hardest lesson you've learned.
Expectations pave the road to disappointment.

Tell us something most people don't know about you.
I was a therapist and worked with troubled teens.

You have a whole day to yourself; what do you do?

I grew up in New York, and Newport Beach is home today.

Last thing you researched online:
A commercial property listing.

What would you be doing if you weren't in this business?
Operating a car wash.

Clinical (therapist), parental (like to think I'm a good father), driving (track and racing).

Playing baseball.

What turns you on– creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
Creatively – developing new concepts and ideas. Spiritually – helping others with their afflictions. Emotionally – my family (fiance, daughter and three furry children).
