Seymour Kushner: Businessman in Profile
Have you ever wondered what the men and women who run your favorite companies do behind the scenes—who they are, and what they do, in their spare time? Where their interests lie, beyond running their business? It’s true enough that, for many business owners, running the company leaves precious little time for other activities. And yet, it is not at all unreasonable to suggest that some business owners lead varied, multi-faceted lives—lives that might truly surprise you. Case in point: One Seymour Kushner.
Who is this man, exactly? Seymour Kushner is the president of a small publishing and recording company, one that specializes in distributing products worldwide. But he is also an avid bicyclist, former motorcyclist and jeep enthusiast. He is an avid listener and attendee of musical events, with tastes that run the spectrum of genres. He attends many musical performances including jazz, dance, rock, and world music. Perhaps the most memorable and moving performance he has attended was the Concert for NYC, in honor of all the first responders who died during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He is an athlete, a community activist, and an outdoor adventurer. Not bad for a business owner, right?
