ABOUT ME

I am the divorced Dad of 5 fantastic kids and 5 even better grandkids. My work background is in mergers and acquisitions and I have also done consulting to help business owners prepare their companies for sale in the private market. I have traveled to Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Macau, and several of the states. I want most to go to Denmark someday as we have kept those traditions alive in my family. Also, I want to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail before I die. My Mom always said, "Why want a loaf of bread when you can want the whole grocery store?" My Appalachian Trail ambitions are like that I suppose.

PHILOSOPHY

1. The oxen are slow, but the Earth is patient.

2. We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

When I was young, I thought I knew everything. I have learned a lot since I was 21 and knew it all. In any situation, it usually helps to sit quietly, listen to the still, small voice and then act. People are more important than truth.
