We asked our executive team to complete the famous Proust Questionnaire. Over the next few weeks we will be sharing their answers.
First up, our Founder and Managing Partner, Stephen Ferber.
What is your idea of perfect happiness? Arrange College Football, NFL Football, College Basketball and NBA Basketball so we never go one week during the year with any gap between the seasons. Then, set it up so MLB and NHL playoffs begin at the same time as the beginning of one of the Football and/or Basketball seasons so I am never forced to watch game 5, 94 or even 127 of the MLB season or game 5, 25 or even 67 of the NHL season (regular season is so long!)
What is your greatest fear? That I have done the best job I can as a father to arm my children with the tools necessary, whether I am on this earth or not, to stand on their own 2 feet, follow their dreams, take care of themselves and hopefully make a difference in this world in their own way.
