So...Meet Seth!

What are some of your favorite hobbies outside of work?

One of my favorite things to do outside of work is to play music. I play with a group that will play out every few months. There are few things that put as big a smile on my face as bringing people some joy when they go out to listen to live music.

What are you currently reading?

A Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawking - the illustrated version. I’ve always been fascinated by Physics and the inner workings of the universe

If you could have any super power, what would it be?

Not sure if there’s a single word for this power, but the power of Instant Travel. I’d love the power to be able to wake up, have a traditional English breakfast, teleport to Popham Beach Maine for a morning walk, then just for fun spend the afternoon walking around Sydney before going to the opera house for a concert.

You're given the ability to have dinner with anybody in the world.  Who would you choose and why?

Because of my fascination with physics, I would love to spend an hour at dinner speaking with Neil deGrasse Tyson, his passion for education and understanding of the universe is infectious to me. If I was to choose someone that was not alive it would be Jim Henson, there are few people alive or in the past who I find more inspirational than him.

Describe the perfect day.

I feel like there are no “perfect days” but there are perfect moments, which is basically anytime either of my sons are laughing uncontrollably, especially when they are laughing at something an adult would consider ridiculous.
