Are you reading anything right now, and would you recommend it?
“The Leader’s Voice” by Boyd Clarke and Ron Crossland. Would recommend it because it goes beyond superficial analysis and examines what truly makes the right leadership communication so powerful.

“Blue Bloods” and “Downton Abbey.”
What was the last movie you saw?
“The Best of Me” – surprising twists in plot, wonderfully sentimental.

George Washington. He was our greatest president and yet he was humble enough to walk away from the job.

Anywhere with my wife and daughter and/or on a lake with boating and swimming.
Do you have any favorite hobbies?
Host a radio show. Sports: soccer dad; working out; following Yankees and Siena Saints.

Getting married outdoors on a gorgeous day near the stream at the Appel Inn in Guilderland. With the setting sun behind her, my wife appeared like an angel from heaven.

I’ve lived in five states — NY, Colorado, Tennessee, Kentucky and Maine.
