Are you a lifelong learner?

Yes, I am. I always have a book with me, I’m a big note taker, and I’m open to more learning.

What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?

I had a LOT of “hard years-” my childhood and adolescence, my holdover period in the Army, and my 11-month unemployment before working for the City. What got me through? The idea, “something better is on the way for me.”

What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?

Sit still, breathe deep, and they’ll go away by themselves.
