My first impression is that he is wearing a dignified suit, but his shirt and tie (especially the latter) are way too "big" and "bold" -- and even "soft" -- for him.
why does he have both buttons buttoned, that bothers me. Also, his matching tie and pocket square looks terrible in my opinion.
Right guys, but what would you think he does if you met him? It's not a trick question btw.
Looks like he is trying for a power look but has instead ended up with a crass and flashy one. I would wonder about his background.
He certainly looks like a man who earns a lot of money, but who might trust his clothiers too much.
Untrustworthy Australian Media broker?
Untrustworthy Australian Media lawyer?
Played drums in college? (He has drummer's wrists to my eye.)
It's a very mixed-metaphor look. He's aiming to suggest a lot of things - A bit of the Art world (Good call, richt.), a touch of old style 80's Power Dressing, a little Uptown/Downtown I-get-around savvy... But by trying to cover too many bases he falls short.
I suspect he uses too much aftershave too and gives you a lot of fake sincerity/sensitivity with more eye-contact than is usual when in conversation.
He's divorced by now (2 kids) and now has a younger partner. She's a blonde from choice and has had a lot of expensive dental work, hence her ever present smile. They met through work. There will be no more children, but he'll pose as a family man who loves his children when in fact all they ever did was to get in his way.
He wants you to trust him.
Don't.

I'll guess Dr. Robert Jarvik, physician, inventor of the artificial heart, and heart health advocate.
Interesting list of comments here because they all have one thing in common. They're all negative. Dressing up can be a dangerous business and he proves it. Trying to make a good impression, he's done the opposite.
Clothes do make--and unmake--the man.
He would benefit from a little Cary Grant understated elegance. Start first by losing the loud tie.
I agree with richt and Terry, he is trying a bit to hard - the whole picture is a little too perfect which makes him seem less trustworthy (what is he hiding?). Personally I can't get past the tie, it dominates. A more subdued tie with a smaller knot would give better balance I think - but that could just be my personal prejudices.
(I think Droog got the answer right)
Careful, get the guy ticked off and he'll rip your heart out. But, at least he can replace it afterwards.

The pharmaceutical community is debating whether Dr. Jarvik is a fop or a flop...

You wouldn't believe the debate on the PM service about having 'Drummer's wrists'!
I think we may have invented a brand new medical condition on FNB.
