Personal

Mayur grew up in sunny South Florida, but somewhere over the last two decades in Boston, he gave up and fully adopted Boston sports teams, skiing badly on ice and drinking large iced Dunkins in January. When Mayur isn’t watching his kids at baseball games, swim practice or dance competitions, he enjoys reading fiction, hiking, running slowly and other outdoor activities. He serves on the Advisory Board of YouthConnect, an advocacy and intervention program for at-risk youth that works in partnership with the Boston Police Department and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.
