Wali Rushdan: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• Addicted to daily morning exercise
• Grateful for my wife of eight years, in awe of my 19-month-old daughter, motivated by my 5-year-old son, and elated about my daughter due in April
• Notably proficient in the culinary arts
• Most comfortable in a suit in the hot weather months than the cold
• A black belt in Taekwondo
• An unapologetic San Francisco 49ers fan who imposes this fandom on all of my household
• Committed to mentoring local young people aspiring to better themselves
• Consciously courteous and respectful to all people, thanks to my mother
• A gaming enthusiast – repressed solely by the commitment to the responsible use of time
• Inspired by the daily, elusive pursuit of excellence in all things
