In school I studied international business and marketing, so I've always been attracted to business.

I've always had an interest in business, and my interest in business has really expanded over the years.

From a relatively early age I got interested in business.

I've been working in boutique hotels my whole life.

I view real estate as the most intriguing opportunity that I've seen in my business lifetime.

I grew up in the motel business, and it evolved into hotels.

Consulting offered me an opportunity to see a lot of different businesses in different regions of the world, to see how textiles were being affected by foreign competition, how technology was changing.

The town I came from really had one industry, and that was furniture.

It seemed glamorous when I used to go into work and get to be on a trading floor or see how the business worked a little bit before I ever understood what it was.

And I thought I'd always like some form of business, I didn't know what kind of business I'd go in.
