Hiking in Peru
Tell us something we don’t know about you:
I’ve been obsessed with classic cars since I was 19 when I almost bought a 1959 Corvette. I bought a 1968 convertible Mustang instead that year. I now have a 1957 MGA & Rare Japanese Figaro (I call it my "Hello Kitty" car).
what’s your favorite classic car?
Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing
what’s your favorite go-to food, sweet & drink?
A great Omakase, Mochi ice cream, and Sake that is floral and crisp.
Favorite activities and pastimes:
Sailing - Cutting through waves for hours is invigorating to me.
Photography - Ansel Adams inspired me back in High School. Collecting sand from all over the world (Dubai to Vieques). I have over 150 miniature bottles labeled and on display at my beach house.
Travel - I love all the stamps from around the world in my passports. I wouldn’t feel whole if I wasn’t being cultured via international travel. Peru and Iceland are among my favorite trips so far.

Best celebrity moment since living in NYC?
There are two classic ones:
The first was a private moment when I was 22 years old passing David Bowie on 67th St. between Park Ave & Madison Ave at 3:30 pm during the week. There wasn’t another soul around. I nearly died. If that were today, I would have taken his arm and said “I’d like to buy you a drink and chat for a bit.”
The second was while having dinner with friends. The woman sitting next to me had on perfume that reminded me of my trip to Jamaica, and I asked to smell her wrist to be sure. While I was smelling her wrist I realized it was Gwyneth Paltrow!
Favorite personal quote?
“Be a leader, not a follower”
3 magazines on your nightstand?

Favorite Show?
The Off-Broadway show “Sleep No More.” You can go 100 times, and the show will be different every time. I can’t even begin to explain the incredible visuals you will see.

Shazam so I can always download that great song I just heard, Flipboard to keep up with everything around the world, and Google Earth so I can plan my next journey.
