Always on the lookout to speak Spanish whenever possible
A perma-athlete, always involved in at least one rec league sport
Originally from Vermont and Washington, now a Minnesota transplant with the accent to prove it

Someone who favors biking and public transit whenever possible
A forever fan of the movies The Great Escape, The Dirty Dozen, and The Sting
Finally recovered from getting lost in Disneyland on a high school band trip, in the pre-cell phone era (terrifying!)

I AM...
Helping to build a home on every possible continent – lucky for me Habitat for Humanity does not build in icy Antarctica
A yogi living a whole foods, plant-based life
Going to see the Northern Lights this year and someday the mountain gorillas
Afraid of heights, public speaking, GMOs and a border wall
Sickly addicted to true-crime dramas and therefore never getting married – can you believe the husband did it AGAIN?
Sponsoring five elementary school students in Haiti
A baseball fan who has spent many a day or night at the friendly confines aka Wrigley Field, and I AM old enough to have seen Ernie Banks play at 1B
A hiker of portions of the Inca, Hermit, North Country, Appalachian and Oregon trails
Getting into podcasts. Suggestions?
Grateful that Mark Rust hired me

A car guy, through and through, whose goal is to save the manual transmission
A Massachusetts expat who used to have a hardcore Boston accent
A former competitive gymnast who trained for 10 years
A proud father of two awesome girls who love to dance
A husband to a double- Ivy-League-educated, loving wife whose brownies should be world famous
Someone who knows that single track trails on his mountain bike are his happy place
Tech and social media savvy
A clothes horse

I AM...
A black man who loves his wife, children, grandchild, family, and himself
A seeker of mastery of self and life
A meditator
A poet – composing and consuming poetry
A “conspiracy theorist” who looks beyond the surface of things and events – what is most visible is often never what’s most important
A bibliophile, especially loving books about history, religion, self-mastery, law, mystery, military, spy novels, biographies, and Sherlock Holmes
A fan of jazz, old-school R&B, neo-soul and funk music
A questionable but joyful golfer
An avid movie-goer – lover of action thrillers, psych and suspense thrillers, and comedy movies
A trial lawyer who one day will lay down his sword and shield, down by the riverside, and ain’t gonna study war no more after that. Yes, I love Negro Spirituals, and I will not fight beyond my prime.
