"I’ve anchored and reported for Marketplace since 1989 from bases in London, Los Angeles and New York. Multimedia journalism’s my thing — been doing radio since I was a little boy. I write, love cameras and audio/video editing and have anchored television. I grew up in a small town in Maine but have attended schools in Italy, Madagascar and Ghana.\r\n\r\n<b>What was your first job?</b>\r\n\r\nDJ and newsman on WTVL AM/FM, Waterville, Maine.\r\n\r\n<b>What do you think is the hardest part of your job that no one knows?</b>\r\n\r\nMaking each and every one fit. “Marketplace Morning Report” has to end at 58 minutes and 58 seconds past each hour; no more, no less.\r\n\r\n<b>What advice do you wish someone had given you before you started this career?</b>\r\n\r\nFind your own voice in your on-air style and in your writing.\r\n\r\n<b>In your next life, what would your career be?</b>\r\n\r\nAstronaut. They say a key qualification for the Mars mission are folks who can fix things on the fly. I'm good at MacGyvering.\r\n\r\n<b>Fill in the blank: Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you ______.</b>\r\n\r\nA McIntosh audiophile-grade stereo amplifier. No, not spelled the same as the computer. They always were too expensive for me, and now they're even more expensive.\r\n\r\n<b>What is something that everyone should own, no matter how much it costs?</b>\r\n\r\nFor those who shave, a shaving brush.  And kitchen scissors. Really. It'll change your life.\r\n\r\n<b>What’s something that you thought you knew but later found out you were wrong about?</b>\r\n\r\nI thought people work in their own best interests. They don't. They use up resources until they hurt themselves. \"Tragedy of the commons,\" economists call it.\r\n\r\n<b>What’s your most memorable Marketplace moment?</b>\r\n\r\nLive on the air, I slipped and swapped an \"f\" for a \"p\" in some copy and looked up to see an empty control room. They were all on the floor laughing at my expense.\r\n\r\n<b>What’s the favorite item in your workspace and why?</b>\r\n\r\nBesides the photo of my family, there is a 4\" diameter, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSJrVMmtgwc&amp;feature=youtu.be\">4-foot-tall model rocket in the Marketplace Morning Report colors</a> I built. It's flown to 4,000 feet."
