At 53 I decided to take a sabbatical, move to South Lake Tahoe and dedicate myself to snowboarding the 2019/20 season. COVID hit and Tahoe seemed like a good place to ride out the storm. So I got to enjoy a second season on the mountain.

So many things happened during that time; COVID, civil unrest, political turmoil, January 6th, etc, etc, etc. At one point it felt like the world was ending. So I decided to retire at 55 to enjoy life as much as possible.

At the end of the 20/21 season I moved to Central Florida to be close to my new granddaughter. Now I spend my time boating, fishing, surfing and spoiling my new granddaughter.

I do still take an the occasional consulting gigs that come my way if it looks interesting and rewarding.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on CouchSurfing because it seems like a great community to meet new like minded people. I've met a lot of great people in Tahoe and know the area well so it would be fun to show others everything the area has to offer.

音乐、电影和书籍

I find myself listening to talk more than music; Stern, Rogan, Politics, Tech, etc. When I do listen to music it's usually curated. Like most art I know what I like when I hear it but don't go out looking for new stuff. I create a Pandora channel and let their algorithm introduce music I might like.

My favorite Pandora stations are: Zero 7, Sneaker Pimps, Sia, Twenty One Pilots, Paul Oakenfold, Sash and Digweed, The Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers

Favorite Movies: Leaving Las Vegas, Reservoir Dogs, HER, The Breakfast Club, Big Wednesday

Recent Books: Principles, Laws of Human Nature, Extreme Ownership, Never Split the Difference, What Happened, Siege, The Muller Report, Fear, Higher Loyalty, Fire & Fury, The Everything Store, Elon Musk, Finding My Virginity, Stillness Speaks, A New Earth, The Power of Now, the Four Agreements, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The China Study.

教，学，和分享

I'd like to show people how they can let happiness be the driving force in their life, learn how others are accomplishing this and share it with the world.
