My First Job…
Outside of Ben’s, I was an intern in the music department at 96.3 FM WHUR.
A Day In the Life…
Take my 5 year old son to school, check emails at work, then handle all of the chaos that is owning a restaurant. At all costs make it home for dinner with the family.
When I’m Not Working, I’m…
Hanging with my wife and son. Our new family activity is golf and horseback riding. Both are a sight to see.
