What are you most looking forward to doing/seeing/experiencing in Israel?
I am most looking forward to meeting Israelis and talking about their lives and seeing how different or how similar they are to our American lives.
Who are you meeting in Israel and what is their role/profession?
I am meeting with Yigal Schneider, the Owner of Alexander Schneider, which is an Electrical and Communications Distributor, like Graybar Electric. He has an extensive background in Technology development in Israel being an Electrical Engineer and former Intel Employee.
What are you doing to prepare for this experience?
I have been reading “Start-Up Nation” by Dan Senor, this is a fascinating book about how and why Israel has become a powerful technology and economically successful country in such a short time span.

Something interesting/unique about yourself?
I once bumped into a Cactus while playing golf in Arizona, I had many cactus needles stuck in my leg, several weeks later I had one surgically removed, it had a flower on the end of it and had bloomed inside my leg! I still have it in a sample bottle, the doctor gave it to me.
