Personal Quote:

[on his education] I was a classic Wooster [college] case. I had decent but not great grades in high school, because I was highly motivated in some subjects, like the arts, drama, English, and history, but in math and science I was a screw-up. Wooster saw something in me and I really flourished there. I got into theatre, took photography and painting classes." See more »

Trivia:

Is the father of two children, and his own father worked for over 30 years with Merrill Lynch. See more »
