Self-employed and successful entrepreneur. Born in England, schooled in several countries and raised in Southern California. Educated, articulate, easy going, never married and have no children.

I'm a decent person, but I'll have to earn that trust from you. I genuinely care about the world, those around me and my best quality is; I believe in myself. I'm blessed with good genes, a sunny attitude and a gregarious personality. I make my own hours and like to travel all the time.

A funny person by nature and quickly make friends wherever I go. I've been described as having "panache". I'm very comfortable in my own skin and really don't want to change much. Flexible, reasonable, negotiable and almost never get into arguments because of this. I was fortunate to be brought up by really good parents in great surroundings and have lived in many countries. I'm grounded and have my sugar together.

I exercise almost everyday from swimming, walking, lifting light weights and whatever else I can talk myself into. I don't eat pork or red meat, live on salads, veggies, fruits, nuts and use a juicer. I do love seafood and pasta. I use good cologne, body, face and hand creams daily. And take care of my appearance head to toe. I'm fortunate to have nice hair, appreciate my good health and don't squander it needlessly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived on a yacht with my brother in The Caribbean for a couple of years and among the many adventures we had was a revolution in Granada. We went to bed with Radio Free Granada and woke up to a new government that was run by Maurice Bishop. Overnight Bishop took over the island that was run by Eric Gairy who was out of the country at the time. Some guns were shot off and all the bank tellers and such were conscripted and given guns to protect the ports in case Gairy came back. It was an incredible experience and loved every minute of living life on a boat and cruising from island to island and diving everyday.

Teach, Learn, Share

Born Britain and lived there several times. Also lived in Texas and Arizona. Then moved to Newport Beach in Southern California and grew up there. Lived in Canada and France too. Also lived on a yacht in The Caribbean, including; Barbados, Tobago, Trinidad and Florida.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I sold my house a few years ago and downsized to a very small one room apartment with my offices next door. I have everything I need except room for another person and if I did I'd love to share it with others as I like meeting new people and cultures from all over the world.

I write books and own a publishing company. Coupons on a Key Chain, which is sold in major supermarkets chains in Canada. I just wrote a short story called: Far Out Man. An environmental Si-Fi story that is out of this world...right here at home. I've also won world wide awards in New York and Canada for my marketing skills.

I want to be in the Los Angeles area because I want to shop my Si-Fi book around because I may have a shot at making it into a movie due to the original story line.
