AT A GLANCE.

What book is currently on your nightstand?

Sisters of Treason by Elizabeth Fremantle; The Jungle by Upton Sinclair: and Becoming a Leader: Nine Elements of Leadership Mastery by Al Bolea and Leanne Atwater.

What movie do you recommend to everyone you know?

I'm a big Lord of the Rings fan.

What's the first thing you do when you get home after a long day at work?

Typically, it would be getting one or two of the dogs and either going for a walk or going for a cross-country ski if the skiing is really good... Right now, coming in and not turning on any media, picking up a book, and maybe pouring a nice glass of red wine.
