Nobody, from that standpoint, is any luckier than I am or will ever be any luckier than I am. It's great.

I was handed a tough life lesson at a very early age.

As both a local resident and a parent with a CF-afflicted child, I'm thankful for companies like Canon, Chase and Outback who believe that giving back to the community is critical to their role as corporate citizens.

Over the years, I've enjoyed working for WFAN and MSG - two sports giants in the industry. There couldn't be a better fit due to the long-standing history both entities have had with NY sports.

The support of organizations including the NY Jets, Canon USA, USA Football, and Outback Steakhouse is a great example of how corporate America can make an impact in bettering the communities where employees work and live.

I have played on many teams throughout my career, and I know when a team has the tools, and the right positive attitude towards winning.

We don’t have the plumbing to take care of what needs to be taken care of.
