CURRENT MISSION

I want someone who will cause me to get up and take a walk!

ABOUT ME

Born in New York, raised in Cincinnati. Played baseball and football in high school and college. After being fired from my job at 25, I started reading, and trying to figure out why some people are successful, and others are not. I had a good sales career, and now teach English to Russian speakers.

PHILOSOPHY

What you do for yourself dies with you, but what you do for others lives forever. - Our duty as men is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation - The only true voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes, but new eyes. - You can get everything you want in life by helping enough other people get what they want.

Interests

Relationships, success, wealth, business, psychology, music, arts, and people. I love restaurants, and talking to interesting people. I am a peaceful person, although I can be quite passionate at times. I am an American teddy bear, and will always protect those who are my guests.
