What was your first paid job?

I started working in my dad’s Italian restaurant when I was 10. I cleaned floors and bathrooms and did other odd jobs. I ended up working most of my childhood there, doing everything from dishwashing to waiting tables to cooking. It really gave me a great perspective on what it takes to run a small business. The great thing is the restaurant is still in business, right across the street from where Kremin Inc. is today.

Who is your favorite superhero and why?

I am a huge superhero fan and watch all the movies as soon as they come out, so its tough to pick one favorite. But if I could take all the arrogance out of Tony Stark, it might be Iron Man. I choose Iron Man because we make some really cool things at Kremin. Lots of what we make saves lives, improves processes, or helps people. A lot of the building and inventing you see with the Tony Stark/Ironman movies is similar to what we do here.
