- Bradley Cain
A Zen poet once said,"A person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which and simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace, whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them, they are always doing both."

Work hard, Play hard. It's a cliche, but it pretty accurately describes my life. My job requires travel almost every week, for a couple days at least. So when I'm home, I like to be as active as possible. That means hitting the gym, Boston, dinner out. I love to meet new people, cooking is a passion, I run whenever possible. I'm all about expanding my horizons - everything from quantum mechanics to tarot is interesting to me.
