"Comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, then a master. And then it becomes a tamer, and with a hook and a whip it makes puppets of your larger desires." Kahlil Gibran

About Me

Photo is me with Jeanne - love of my life.

I own a business, love to read, meditate, make the world a better place, laugh, serve others, drink a bit of beer with my friends, travel, enjoy good movies and I hope always to wake up a little smarter tomorrow. 

Secrets of life (IMHO): Gratitude. Kindness. Inquisitiveness. Love. The rest unfolds.

 

Education

high school

3 years of college (stopped short of a degree in Elementary Ed to go on the road playing music; seemed like a good idea at the time. Probably was, but who knows...)

23 years in business, reinventing ourselves often. A daunting, exhausting, thrilling, and sometimes terrifying alternative to the classroom as a way to learn. I highly recommend it.

Career

I'm ready for the next phase of my life, though I've not yet found it (or "made it happen" would be more appropriate). Played music in my 20's. Grew 2 businesses in my 30's and 40's. Now 53, and ready for whatever comes next.

Can't wait.
