About

“At the age of six years I wanted to be a chef. At the age of seven I wanted to be Napoleon. My ambitions have continued to grow at the same rate ever since.”
- Salvador Dali

My hobbies are rather varied and I tend to appreciate most anything I try. More often than not I find that the old adage “Variety is the spice of life.” to be overwhelmingly true. In my life I’ve enjoyed getting rather deep into such things as: Graphic Design, Programming, Magic, Poker, Writing, Horse Back Riding, Competitive Chess, Flight Training (Cessna’s are fun!), Designing and Developing Video Games, Martial Arts (Shodokan Karate, Taekwondo, Judo… I’ll do MMA someday), Comic Books, Reading, Racing, Culinary Arts, Water Sports, Web Design and Development, Parasailing… I hope you get the idea.

And with all that out of the way… my true passion revolves around all things business. Nothing excites me more than discussing marketing, financing and operating business ventures. I’m a serial entrepreneur in the classic sense of the phrase. I’ve recently acquired quite an insatiable taste for Social Media Marketing. And I intend to grow in this area to become a foremost expert on the subject.

When I’m not actually learning or applying the knowledge I’ve acquired, I like to share that knowledge with those most interested in receiving it. I am often requested as a public speaker for schools, colleges and Universities. This is typically local to my area but I do occasionally speak at Institutes around the World.

Travel – I love to do it. As a child my family moved around quite often. I didn’t like it so much at the time. In the last three years alone I’ve had the opportunity to visit countries such as: Mexico, China, Taiwan, Taipei, India, Thailand, Germany, Kuwait, Jamaica and Australia. I have such an immense appreciation for other cultures and styles of life. We live in an amazing World with such a wide variety of social and cultural norms. I truly feel blessed to have had the opportunity to experience many of them first hand. Next stop: Florianopolis, Brazil!

Oh. And I love food. Food from all around the World. All kinds of food. Most food. All food? Good food!

Well that’s the short version, if you’re really interested a stalker bored you could read my biography page.
