I was asked to partake in a little tagging exercise. Tagging is where you prompt others to share information that they are interested in discovering about you. So out of respect for Dramatic I will attempt to provide the information that he has so graciously shared with me.

What was I doing 10 years ago? June 1998. I was working in my former career of Radio/Television. I was employed as a contractor to Reuters Financial Television in Tokyo, Japan. This was also around the time that I met my wife who also worked there. But what I remember the most is the motley crew I worked with. They were a cast of characters. Not to mention the various events that went on behind the scenes of a live television operation.

It was also at this point that I began to discover what would become my true calling, Technology. Reuters was my jump off from Radio/Television into the fast paced world of Information Technology.

What are 5 things on my to-do list today?

  1. First and foremost, get employed! As a victim of the recent culling on wall street due to the Sub-Prime Mortgage fiasco, I can tell you that it is very hard to find work around the NYC area, especially if you are from the Financial Services Industry.
  2. Get settled into the new house
  3. Pursue the quest to leverage one of my creative hobbies (Radio/Television etc.)
  4. Get back in shape
  5. Sign up for events with my kids
Snacks I enjoy: I prefer to call these my guilty pleasures. Reeses anything would be at the top of that list. On the healthy side, my Carb-Friendly mixed nuts would be a solid choice for me as well. Chocolate Chip Cookies - Dangerous. Hell, chocolate anything is dangerous.

Things that I would do If I were a billionaire: I would take care of home first and foremost. Kids - College; Parents - House; Me - Vacation Home and possibly some land out west to go and hide from reality. Has to have a river with plenty of room for fly-fishing. I would invest some to set me up for life even though I would have to work to retain my sanity and the rest I would contribute to a trust that supported a cause I believe in.
