CURRENT MISSION

To be happy, improve this fucked up world and raise a great family

ABOUT ME

Easy going, liberal, generous, creative, full of weird ideas, good father (I hope!)

PHILOSOPHY

Pay it forward - we're all connected, and what we think and do affects not just us but everyone around us. If the whole world would just sit still and thought about peace for just, say, 20 minutes, we'd come closer together in ways you can't imagine.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love musics, movies and books - but I want to write my own ... I've written 2 films scripts and one book but never got it published ... Yet!! :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In chronological order - a safari in Kenya when I was 11 years old, scoring a great job in LA when I was 28, becoming a father at 35, getting VC funding for a software company when I was 44, standing inside the pyramids in Cairo this Christmas ...
