David Paragas: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A first-generation Filipino American
• A person who met my wife (and best friend) at the Columbus Museum of Art
• The shamelessly proud father of a son, Zach, a daughter, Zoe, and a dog, Ziggy
• Someone who was raised American Baptist, but has raised our children Jewish
• A person that can cook almost any cuisine in 30 minutes or less
• Someone who, after college and before law school, studied classical literature and art in Segovia, Spain
• An avid cyclist logging in more than 3,000 miles a year
• Deeply committed to community service 
• Seriously tone-deaf and wish I could sing (I secretly watch American Idol)
• A political junkie, who appreciates commonality rather than confrontation
