This guy is brilliant - state school, top of class-->T14, Order of the Coif, law review-->COA clerkship-->top lit group, but you'd never know it by looking at him on the street. He lists his summer movie theater jobs on his LinkedIn with unironic one-liners about working hard. People here joke about Kenneth Cole square-toed shoes but this guy really wore them with Jos A. Bank Steve Harvey-style suits and odd colored shirts (e.g. teal) EVERYDAY. He has an enviable head of hair but a shit military-style haircut (he's never been in the service) that looks like Buzz from Home Alone.

We had a Starbucks IN our building (potentially outting the firm but who gives a fuck) and he'd walk three blocks away to go to Dunkin Donuts bc Starbucks coffee was "too strong." Never seen him make coffee in firm kitchen. I've literally never seen him eat lunch from anywhere besides McDonalds, Shake Shack (far too often), Subway - he got fucking pizza from Sbarro's like once a week and you pass several pizza joints on the way there. He never used Seamless bc he "needed the exercise" on his way to walk to ARBY's on 8th Avenue. Not sure he has ever really eaten at an adult restaurant outside of firm events where he would order a cheeseburger ("could you add bacon on that?") every single time except once at Jean-George when he had to order lamb chops.

At an SA event at Chelsea Piers - we do drinks after bowling and everyone of course orders a brew, a cocktail...LOL this guy orders a 96 oz. boot of beer like he's still at Penn State. Fucking love it. Still remember the audible gasp from Indian girl in my vicinity. He makes people so uncomfortable with comments about getting "fucked up", "tanked", "hammered" and has been 100% blackout drunk at every Christmas party I've ever seen him at.

Totally degenerate gambler and fairly open about placing bets, "following" people/gambling twitters (he subscribes to sports analysis with betting recommendations). I've heard him more than once talk about the "moneyline...I gotta go, I'm in a meeting, let me call you back" in front of Partners when he gets a call. If it sounds like flame, I promise you this dude is real and I almost hope someone else recognizes him so we can celebrate how fucking awesome this guy is compared to the rest of our miserable profession.

I checked out his Hoboken digs one St. Patrick's Day bar crawl (he does 'em all, including Santacon, even now in his 30s) and can recall the frayed/ripped Kate Upton poster scotch-taped on his wall alongside a signed and framed a Jaguars jersey. What was warm too were the framed photos of his fat parents, brothers and sisters (he is one of 7) - ALL of whom live in their hometown besides him; moving back was a fantasy he would occasionally indulge in between bites of a Whopper at the out-of-the-way 34th Street Burger King when we'd go for "second lunch" as he called it.

I guess it's the combination of his shamelessness and innocence that I find most admirable. He doesn't have a bad bone in his body - I've never, NEVER, not once heard him speak ill of anyone else. He has a beefy girlfriend who works in marketing who has a similar background to him (southern prole from Florida) and also sticks out like a sore thumb in NYC but they are the most fun people to spend time with (wife and I have gone on many a double date) because they just don't care - there is no pretense about them. It's so refreshing. He actually made my time at that hellhole so much more tolerable.

This guy is 34 and on both high blood pressure and cholesterol meds with no sign of his lifestyle slowing down

I think he had six half-sour pickles and ordered two refills of his Dr. Brown's Cream Soda while we were waiting for our food. Fucking love this guy.
