| Q. |
What were you doing before you moved here? |
| A. |
I was Vice President and General Manager for TerraLycos's
Matchmaker international and domestic online dating brand.
It included online dating for multiple markets, including
Europe, Latin America, and the US. I lived in Boston. |
| Q. |
What has been the most surprising aspect of living
and working in Northeast Ohio so far? |
| A. |
I was not aware of the extent of the cultural arts
such as the symphony orchestra. The cultural richness
of Cleveland in theater and arts is exciting to me. The
fact that the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra is more renowned
than the Boston Symphony Orchestra is new to me and really
cool. Also, the housing prices – I mean, honestly – all
I can say is "wow!" That's a very pleasant
surprise. |
| Q. |
Any hobbies? |
| A. |
Uh, what's a hobby? I work all the time. I guess
you could say that running, yoga, boating, and entrepreneurship
are my hobbies. I'm pretty interested in trying
to help pre-seed and seed-stage businesses get money
so Northeast Ohio can compete with the East and West
Coasts. |
| Q. |
Cleveland in January – give
me your thoughts. |
| A. |
It snows every day. I just didn't know that.
Every day, I wake up and say "Wow. It's snowing." Next
day, I wake up: "Hey look, it's snowing." Next
day: "OK, it's snowing again." It really
never stops. |
| Q. |
Who's going to win the Superbowl
on Sunday? |
| A. |
Oh, Patriots. No question. Go Tom Brady. |
| Q. |
Are you willing to put money on that? |
| A. |
Sure. Why not? You don't think the Cats are gonna
win, do you? Come on now. |
