CURRENT MISSION

Looking for people that like a good beer or two, are not picky eaters but know good food, affinity for tech and professionals with international experience as well. At the moment, looking in South America.

ABOUT ME

I like to build things, getting my heart rate up, video games, a good book. I like good food e.g. ceviche and the varied cuisines of Asia are among my favorite (frog porridge in Singapore is life changing) while the luxury of Oysters in Seattle or San Francisco and the clam chowders of New England leave an indelible impression that I always want to rekindle. I'm happiest with a group of doers that are laid back enough to take a trip somewhere, not unlike myself. Been living in Beijing, China for almost 8 years.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a big fan of team work. Was once described to me by a good friend that was a captain in the US Army as a constant an exhausting struggle to inspire people. Well sometimes I'm struggling to inspire and other times I'm keen to be inspired. Those bits push us to various new missions and tasks that we keep acting on until we can't.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I raised a puppy. Harder than it looks. I also learned to live in China, which was also harder than it looks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak, read, write Chinese. I am a manager in a marketing team of highly talented people and can teach you the basics or some key things about that. I can show you how to make a tiny box out of paper, I can make a kick ass meal with rice, tuna, onions, and potatos. Pick one.
