Q&A with Seth

Where I grew up: Commack, NY

My family: My family are spread out all over the world – parents moved to Florida once they retired, my brother and his family live in Israel, while I was banished from NY (kidding) and sent to California in 1999. Then there is my extended family. These are the people I choose to surround myself with because I love them.

My favorite music: Currently listening to my “Lullabies for Grownups” playlist on Spotify: I can go from this to Frank Sinatra, to Mumford and Sons, to Armin van Buuren (best for workouts) – it really depends on the activity.

My favorite foods: The forbidden ones! Pizza, cheeseburgers, Pop Tarts, and ice cream – these are a few of my favorite things!

My favorite cocktail: Haven’t had a drink in over 24 years!

What I like to do in my spare time: Hikes and drones and bonsai 

My first job: Dishwasher at Friendly’s Restaurant

Something no one would believe about me: I’m actually an introvert!

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence...
