About me

I'm relaxed and friendly with a great smile and great sense of humor. I love just hanging out with family and friends over a great meal or going out to see the world and all it has to offer. I love my work but also like to just forget about it and escape into books, movies, travel or just watching tv. I'm not very athletic though always trying to do a little bit more to stay fit.

I'm always looking forward to the future and finding the good and fun parts of it. I'm extremely confident but I know my shortcomings. I know to admit when I'm wrong. I don't have enough fingers for all the pies I want to get my fingers into. I'm privileged to have a lot of diverse friends from all walks of life. I get passionately involved in my big interests in my life. I like snow more than sun. I prefer character to cute, goats to kittens and playing music to listening to it. I know how to treat a woman with a breakfast tray. I've been a skipper, salesman, computer nerd, company director, bad dancer, good lover, martial artist, internet marketeer, millionaire, pauper, singer, father, son, inventor, therapist, but mostly tried hard to be a good man and a better man. I will be a lot of other things before I am done, but I would most like a woman to take care of, to love, to inspire and be inspired by.

I have a kid who is with me half of the time and I love every minute I get to spend with her. We're a Christian family and active in our church. My family and friends are important to me and we spend a lot of time with them. We have a camper that my daughter and I love to use as much as possible, and are looking forward to the spring! Hiking, fishing, and hanging out by the campfire can't come soon enough. I've got a reputation for having some of the best BBQ feasts and they always draw a big crowd of friends for food, refreshments, and great conversation by the pool. Beyond that, I love the symphony, exploring museums, and quiet nights eating popcorn and watching a good movie.

My work

Every day I wake up thrilled that people pay me to do the thing I love. Writing fits really well with my easygoing attitude and gives me the flexibility to do what I want. Unfortunately I am an awful navigator, but that leads to all sorts of adventures. I guess my life is kind of like an episode of the Muppet show and I would be gonzo: always on a new quest, pushing my imagination to the limits, and occasionally walking into things.

Professionally, I am an offshore engineer with vast experience in marine/offshore activities.
