This same passion led him to pursue independent entrepreneurship as a restaurateur as well as facilitating international trade. To many of his acquaintances and colleagues he could be seen as imperious and stubborn. Those that were in his inner circle knew his playful humor, high caliber of loyalty, and resoundingly deep laugh.
