Q: What's your favorite restaurant in Miami?
A: My family, friends and I have always had an amazing time, delicious food and felt a positive vibe at Touch on Lincoln Road.
Q: What do you love the most about Miami?
A: I love the international feel and diverse culture. When I lived on the bay in South Beach, I was reminded of the French Riviera minus the clay mountains and cliffs.
Q: What do you dislike about Miami? What do you hate?
A: Traffic is always a dislike by residents of major cities, but I think everyone dislikes traffic big or small city, right? Hate? Don't recognize that word in Miami.
Q: If a visitor could do only one thing in Miami, what would you suggest?
A: Connect with the ocean and the sun.
Q: What would you tell a tourist to absolutely avoid?
A: Driving a car -- PLEASE!
Q: The most romantic thing to do or place to go?
A: Rent Vizcaya for the evening and watch the sunset as you walk the grounds. Or charter a 77-foot Viking (yacht) which slowly drives you to the bay view of our beautiful city.
Q: What is your wildest Miami moment?
A: I have been told some crazy stories by friends and read a couple wild reports in the paper. But honestly I can't remember. Needless to say, I quit drinking a couple years ago.
Q: What's your favorite place to shop?
A: Lincoln Road. You will love the shopping and the scenery.
Q: Miami is all about people watching. But since you're always being watched, do you like being recognized down here or would you rather go incognito?
A: Everyone is a celebrity in Miami. I don't even think about that here. No one really cares.
Q: Favorite place to get away from it all down here?
A: I get away from it all at home with my wife and kids.
