Aside from his practice at Singer & Scott, Mr. Scholnick loves playing hockey, killing it at karaoke, and has a mild obsession with the Grateful Dead (to say the least). Mr. Scholnick loves spending as much time as he can with his wife and children exploring diverse adventures in the city and beyond, and his favorite moment of every day is reading Harry Potter books (in ALL of the character voices) to his two boys before bed.
