No doubt, this will be a tremendously successful partnership. Congratulations to you both.
Faraz, Great news - I suspected that your departure would find you working with BK. This sounds like a dream team. I wish you luck in your new city, (now Frank Sinatra has left it, there's room for 2). Make sure you buy a bigger car, because when you're visiting a property with BK, you're going to need a bigger load bearing to carry the wisdom and ego of you both.
Faraz , are you moving to the Big Apple
