Growing up, what did you want to be when you were older?

Growing up I wanted to be a baseball player. Sandy Koufax was my hero.  Unfortunately, I was all field and no bat.

Out of all the places you have lived, where has been your favorite? 

I've lived many places in my life, but one of my favorites was Brussels, Belgium. I lived there when the Soviet Union was dissolving and eastern Europe was opening its borders.

What is a quote that you live by?

I love a quote by Steve Jobs about problem solving from 1984 regarding the early Mac. It’s three paragraphs but the last one is what I always look to:

"…But the really great person will keep on going and find the key, underlying principle of the problem.  And come up with a beautiful elegant solution that works."
