And he aren’t just referring to his ability to crunch numbers as if he had a magic wand – his behind-the-scenes leadership makes him a quiet yet vital piece of the executive team.

With 28 years under his belt, you might picture him as a wise old man, and while he is very wise, he really isn’t the CEO since 2002, and general counsel since 1988.

He has many interests outside the law and business: he’s an instrument rated private pilot, proudly possesses the highest handicap permitted by golf, and has traveled to over 100 countries. He’s also served on many boards through the years, and currently sits on the Madison Square Park Conservancy. the fearless leader and the heart of the business.
