What is the best advice you have ever received? Work hard, with integrity, and take pride in all that you do.

If you leave one job/career for another, that experience always follows you and never stays at the job or career you are leaving.
What advice would you give your 22-year-old self? Work hard and be patient. No work experience is bad experience. You learn whether it is something you enjoy or don’t.
What moment changed your life more than any other? Becoming a father.
What is your favorite Rhode Island food or drink? Stuffed quahogs. Del’s lemonade.
Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics or Bruins? Bruins.
Fox or MSNBC? Both – they balance each other out.
THE PROP: Jason DaPonte is with his wife, Stephanie; daughter Ella, 11; and sons Bodie, 5, and Lucas, 9. “Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am,” he says.
