City you live in: Scottsdale
A typical day in my life includes…
getting woken up at 5:30 a.m. by children who are TOO wide awake and battling the need to get everyone ready for school. Getting into work at one of my clinics allows me to enjoy the peace and serenity that comes with having some control over my surroundings!
I was born…
too early, in Chicago!
My favorite thing about Arizona…
monsoon thunderstorms.
I’m listening to…
Rage Against the Machine and Harry Belafonte…I love Calypso!
My family…
includes my dogs, Rosie and Linus. My family wouldn’t be complete without them!
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Richard Feynman, an irreverent genius!
One thing I cannot live without…
much to my wife’s dismay, Coke Zero!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a veterinarian (Physicist was a close second).
I’m inspired by…
my daughter, Abby. Even with her special challenges she is always the happiest and sweetest person in the room.
The one person who motivates me is…
I tend to kick my own ass, but my wife is a close second!
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
seeing my kids having to experience the same emotional challenges I had as a kid.
The perfect day would be…
enjoyable over and over again.
My first job was…
selling pool supplies!
My favorite escape…
any place that is cold where I can sleep in!
My life…
would really suck if not for my wife!
I’m currently working on…
being more emotionally available. Cliché, but true!
Always…
flush!
Never…
let the dog near you if “she smells like fish”!
Favorite Quote…
“The last of the human freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances” – Elie Wiesel
Biggest Dream…
was to be a vet!
My Pet Peeve(s)…
piles of clothes scattered haphazardly wherever my wife sets foot!
