Just forwarded this to my ex's 16 year old.
I'm in Smith&Wollensky five days a week. Maybe it's time I start looking for connections like this!

Just what we need, another investment banker. Maybe if that doesn't pan out he can go into politics.

He boasts that he has no "genius eccentricities" and yet it seems as though he's adept at playing football, baseball and basketball all at the same time!

Its remarkable how overwhelmed the Wall Street guys were by "honesty". Well, actually not remarkable at all.
