By the time I am 50, I would like to have accomplished...starting a nonprofit that gives instant need to those in Central and Western Massachusetts.
Who gave you the best advice? Mr. Virgili at CIA – You don’t choose this career, it chooses you. It is one of the most thankless jobs you’ll ever have but can be the most rewarding.
What is the first impression you like to leave with business contacts? That I’m humble. People enjoy what I do almost as much as I enjoy doing it, and I feel a lot of it is luck.
