Q: Tell us about a time when lessons learned from the ancients contributed to your success.
A: I've always admired the way Aeneas stood tall in the face of adversity knowing he had a destiny. I have tried to let that help guide me.
Q: If you could invite one classical figure to dinner, who would it be and why?
A: Alexander the Great. When he conquered a city he didn't impose his culture and philosophy on the citizens. He even integrated some of the conquered leaders into the new government, which ensured stability and development. I would like to hear his thoughts on how his philosophy is still applicable today.
Q: Who is the most powerful person in your life?
A: My father; he put himself through school and worked two jobs to ensure that his children received a good education. Also Father Bermingham, my high school classics teacher, who introduced me to Homer.
