Education: Planning, design and real estate development, Cleveland State University

What Would Surprise Someone to Learn About Me: I delivered four newspapers (Plain Dealer, Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Sun Press) from the age of 11 until I was 21 years old. The running joke with my six siblings and friends was that I went from being a “paper boy” to a “paper man!” 

An Important Lesson I Learned: Leading with kindness makes our world better and happier for all. And, my dad would often say that “comparison is the thief of joy,” and he was right on that one.

Outside of Work You’ll Find Me: My wife Ciara and I love living in Cleveland as if we’re tourists and travelling the world like locals. In Cleveland, we’re very likely to be found “forest bathing” with our dog Jasper in forested green space, streams and lakes near and far.

A Cleveland Spot I Recommend: Walking the Redline Greenway up and down to the Cuyahoga River. I’m so excited to have the Irishtown Bend Park open up next year connecting Ohio City to Whiskey Island and the lakefront beaches and parks.
