6. All kidding aside? Your father was a life long smoker and he died in 1997 from cardiovascular disease. Is this why you quit your job with Phillip Morris?
Yes actually....kind of a strange story about my dad...he was a devout Mormon yet he was addicted to smoking...funny thing was he hid it from me my whole life..My father raised me to believe I could conquer anything so long as I put my mind to it...He believed himself to be a bad example and a hippocrite because he couldnt conquer his smoking habit..He thought I would interpret his inability to quit as weakness...I am lucky to have had a father who loved me soo much..Also...I went to work for PM at the height of the Tobacco industry litigation (1997) so there was all this negativity surrounding everything I was working on...and then my dad dies from complications during a quad-bypass....shitty time in my life....Moved to LA and got into cardiovascular pharmaceutical sales...ironic
