I’ve also been known to frequent Diigo and Twitter. I’m also lucky enough to be married to the Coolest Wife Ever, Andrea Biondi, with whom I have traveled to Spain and Colombia. Â We also were crazy enough to celebrate our first New Years Eve together in Times Square. Â I’m also an avid runner and try to compete in a half marathon or two every year. Â Finally, I make a pretty mean sesame seared tuna, if you’re ever in the neighborhood.
