About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Growing.... growing.... grown

ABOUT ME

I have traveled quite a bit, I think, and have done all kinds of things. I have worked as a professional musician for years and also as an executive. I have started and run businesses, and now I work as an independent consultant. I originally trained as a computer programmer, but I lean more toward the humanities (History, Art History, Philosophy, Psychology, Political Science). I also draw, take photographs, sing and play Flamenco guitar... So, I guess I could qualify as either a "flake" or a "Renaissance man". I prefer the latter...

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about getting in contact with your Essence. Growing through the areas that make me most afraid. But fear is believing that something can happen to you that is not on your path.
