I truly don't know I'd I'm a product of circumstances or the beneficiary of great genes. Success has been a fruit very slow to ripen for me. It' embarrassing to say that at age 39 I'm coming of age.

I have a four-year-old son and now know the profound way of waking up to your dad in his underwear strumming the guitar at the kitchen table can affect you. I woke up to that.

My father is a fusion of elegance and humor. The unlikely combination of eloquence and effortless casualness. He has charisma without audacity. He's the consummate gentleman.
