Open up a shelter/foster home for stray dogs—especially “Bully” breeds.

Long-term personal or professional goal?

Getting active. Running, lifting weights, or rock climbing.

Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include:

This is hard. Audrey Hepburn because of all her social work (and I’m pretty sure she was a spy during the war), Dave Chappelle (he’s a great thinker, and funny, too!), Michelle Obama (just finished her book and it was amazing), and Benjamin Franklin (one of the founding fathers, inventor, and also had really great taste in wine).

Your favorite city in the world is...and why?

Pittsburgh. I grew up there. It’s a fantastic sports town, and nowhere else do french fries come standard on a salad.

Any other facts to share?
