Tell us about your business ventures!
I work full time for the Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC and I have two businesses that keep me very busy. In 2012 I founded Outdoor Movie Ninja to help families enjoy outdoor movies together. Last year I followed up on a dream and founded The GreatCall Tequila Corporation, GreatCall is a new premium organic tequila brand that will be available in the area soon, it’s an amazing product and I’m happy to sample it to anyone interested and talk to them about collabs on this tequila project!
What do you love about what you do?
I love helping people and also being involved in the community is very important to me, my businesses help me to do just that.
How are you teaching your son about the family business?
My son has helped with the marketing of the movie business and often comes with me to see customers. I’m showing him the concepts of starting a business such as how to create a brand, trademarks and the value of being early to things and the importance of contributing positively to the community. He’s more of a soccer player, but I keep him up to date on the happenings.
Great question, I asked a fellow dad once how he keeps conversations going with his grown kids and he said he asks them for their Highs and Lows. I’ve found Highs and Lows to be a great conversation starter and to see what is on my young child’s mind and he gets to express what he’s happy about and not so happy about in an open way.
