About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking the next curve in life at high speed....

ABOUT ME

I've been a short order cook, a carpenter, a student, a retail manager, a self employed graphic artist, involved in 2 startup companies in San Francisco that went bankrupt during the internet "bubble", unemployed, administrative support staff and an account executive - aka salesman :-), a husband and probably a few other things I don't or would prefer not to remember!

I am compassionate, curious, optimistic, friendly, pretty easy to talk with, and a loyal friend. I'm usually involved in one project or another. I like a good discussion, especially around personal experiences and convictions and am always interested in new things and ideas. I don't watch TV though :-)

PHILOSOPHY

We create the life we live - what we give our attention to is what grows, and our history got us here. :-) No big regrets!

Music, Movies, and Books

Hey! This is starting to look like a personals ad.... OK - Prefer movies that leave me thinking for days, or at least hours. Not much on American action films. Can watch a movie with a bad plot and acting if its visually interesting. Books: Latest favorite - Written on the Body, by Jeanette Winterson. And definately (though lately) into Terry Pratchatt's Discworld.
