Favorite Book:
The Glory and the Dream by William Manchester
Favorite Movie:
Moonstruck. On one of my first dates with Jessica we discovered our share love of the movie as it reminds us so much of growing up in our Italian American families.
And of course The Godfather -- 1 and 2.
Favorite Musician:
I like all music but Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell remind me of my mom. Blake Shelton and Joshua Radin remind me of my wife, Jessica.
Favorite Quote:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
Favorite TV Shows:

Currently? The Good Place, The Crown, This is Us (all the feels).
