I clearly remember my dad standing by the phone at our then short period Manhattan apartment, confirming there’s tickets for him and me to see the Mets that night at Shea stadium. I was 10 years old, and the Mets played against The Atlanta Braves.

It was all his idea. Baseball was nowhere to be found where I grew up and I didn’t know anything about it. The second we sat at our seats I was completely blown away. I could not believe how clean everything was, how grateful the American fans were for being given the opportunity to experience such moments, and how much style the game spreads to everyone. I was hooked. And baseball will forever be a huge inspiration on how I look at things, especially work related, and try to make them prettier.



For me, the most exciting moment in the game is when the umpire yells: “SAFE!”, right after a baserunner reaches his base, usually in a dramatic manner, without being put out. And the crowd goes wild.
