About: I’m a Torah-observant Jew living in an affluent suburb of Cleveland. I live among my people. This is good, but sometimes inconvenient (like if I leave the light on in the refrigerator on the Sabbath). My faith is a huge part of my life. I share about it - a lot, customarily. I have a wife and four children, all of whom I love very, very much.

I’m kind of pompous sometimes. When I was taking my MBA, my cohort accused me of making up words. They called it “Philbonics.” I just have a broad vocabulary.

Some consider me amusing, and some compliment my singing voice. This makes me somewhat uncomfortable because I worry about Karma (or the Jewish equivalent, really).

You?
