am not sure I can answer why you are reading this, but
I will try to see if I can at least tell you about me...
Well,
I guess we all have a story - but where to begin? I
was born in 1970 and spent my formative years (thru
High School) in Minnesota. This immediately begs the
question: "How did you survive those winters"
- the very simple answer...I did, but now I live in
California!
I
left Minnesota in 1988 after graduating from the Blake
School and attended Colgate University in upstate New
York - mmmm, Minnesota to upstate New York...we are
really not sure about this guy now!
During
college I had one of the more important lessons in life
bestowed upon me while working in Geneva, Switzerland.
While working amongst a group of Petroleum Brokers,
I was told that "work will always be here for you.
You will not have your twenties to live over again!"
- that was all it took, I made up my mind!
After
graduating from college, I left to travel the world
- not exactly sure how I was going to do that. I first
landed on Nantucket and proceeded to learn how to become
a chef. That job allowed me to travel throughout the
US - Colorado, Alaska, Hawaii and Lake Tahoe. I lasted
about 5yrs, living out of a backpack and sating my appetite
for adventure (I was a SCUBA and Ski instructor in there
too).
I
reached a point in my life where I wanted a more business
focused career and stumbled into San Francisco in 1997
and have been here ever since.
I
now find myself in one of the most beautiful and interesting
places on earth! The people, the surroundings, the industry,
it is sensory overload for the mind and body.
Poke
around some more - learn about my family, friends and
other pastimes. Please keep checking back as I am going
to updating this site with some other functions over
time...
Thanks
for stopping by!
