Who You Are
Name: Mark

Sexual Orientation: Worldly. Has dated wildly in earlier years. Still thinks of himself as sexually adventurous.

Reading: The Economist, Puck, Air Mail, Ben Smith, and whatever his assistant prints out from X.
Phone Background: His daughter’s film still or an astronaut on the moon.
Vice(s): Microdoses occasionally, hasn’t been truly sober since 2009. Big into “wellness” but drinks tequila neat. Pays for privacy.
