Playing to type: I have two sisters—one older, one younger—and from what my degree in psychology tells me, I exhibit classic signs of middle-child syndrome.
Bold move: After nearly 20 years, I left my full-time job as E.V.P. and group creative director to go freelance so I could also focus on other writing projects, including a book due out in October.
Mea culpa: I’m responsible for the earworm “Gimme back that Filet-O-Fish, gimme that fiiiiiish.” My sincere apologies.
Hidden skill: I’m addicted to crossword puzzles. I can complete the NYTpuzzle any day of the week, Monday-Wednesday, without cheating.
Deal breaker: Smoking.
Guilty pleasure: I love old-school birthday cakes from Shaw’s: gold with buttercream frosting.
Celebrity crush: Leslie Mann. Gorgeous, sexy and funny as hell.
Physical trait that drives him crazy (in a good way): I prefer dating women who are shorter than me. I keep spreading the rumor that flats are making a comeback, but nobody seems to be buying it.
Dating disaster: On a first date, 10 minutes into dinner I had an allergic reaction to the wine. My lips swelled up like a balloon. It was like a “Botox gone wrong” episode of The Doctors. Needless to say, there was no goodnight kiss.
Romantic locale: Anywhere can be romantic with the right person…except maybe the DMV.
