A quick handshake

•You have traveled to some amazing places. What are a few of your favorite places that you have visited?

Visiting the Soviet Union was my favorite. I was able to go during the Cold War. While it was under a repressive regime, I was amazed at how kind the people were. The history and culture were just fascinating.

•How did you get into showing antique cars?

I had an uncle who was into antique cars. He got me into it and when he passed, I continued the tradition of showing his 1932 Chevrolet Cabriolet. I finished restoring it and drove it to law school.

•People would be surprised to know...

I used to build and race flat bottom hydro drag racing boats.
