What are you listening to?
To be honest, I don’t listen to a lot of music. I have sports talk tuned into the radio in the car and at home. But if you asked me, it would be ’50s and ’60s R&B.
What are you reading?
I guess I read books by people who have been successful leaders.
What are you watching on TV?
I love to watch movies on TV. I don’t get out to the movie theaters a lot, so if there is a movie I haven’t seen that’s showing on TV, I’ll tune in. I also watch a lot of sports on TV.
What was the last movie you saw?
My wife and I just went out on a date last Friday (Sept. 26), so we saw “The Equalizer.”
What is your dream vacation?
If money was not an issue, I’d say to spend a week in Manhattan and enjoy everything the city has to offer.
What are some of your hobbies?
Following my kids around. That’s my No. 1 hobby.
What would your last meal be?
Lasagna and my wife’s chocolate mousse for dessert.
Who would you most want to meet, dead or alive?
If you want to go real old, Moses. If you don’t want to go that old, (former Boston Celtics coach) Red Auerbach.
What is your favorite local moment?
When I was coaching (men’s basketball with Fran McCaffrey) at Siena College and we won our first (Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) title in 2008 to go to the NCAA Tournament.
What is a surprising fact about you?
I used to work on classified projects for the Pentagon.
