About Me

ABOUT ME
i am a child of the 60's, lived it and still living it!

My wife and I live on the central pacific coast of costa rica, in a small pueblo known as Pueblo Nuevo, about 5 minutes outside of Jaco. in 1999, after 22 years of living in carbondale, co, we moved to costa rica.
i now occupy my time in my little locksmith shop in town, as well as being a fly fishing guide, my true passion.
well flyfishing AND"adventuring"! i am an adventurer

over my working life i have plied many trades, some that i can still remember would be: NYC cab driver, electrician helper, dental technician, clothing salesman, silversmith, locksmith, sports column writer, disc jockey, fly fishing guide. I owned an alarm company. I've been around!

in 1983, i founded a public radio station in carbondale, colorado. KDNK (www.kdnk.org) it is commercial free and still alive and well, streaming an eclectic radio format to the western slope of colorado and the world. I DJ'ed for over 15 years, with an assortment of shows. i was the "voice of the Roaring Fork Rams: high school football team for 10 years!; "be true to your school, rah, rah, sis, boom, bah"

last year i went to havana, cuba and saw the free rolling stones concert

i am about to retire (70) and so it is time for new adventure, which is why i need to find some couches!
