ABOUT ME

I was born in Oranjestad, Aruba, Netherlands Antilles and have lived in Miami Florida, Savannah Georgia, Los Angeles California, Albuquerque New Mexico prior to my family settling down in Phoenix Arizona.

I currently live in Downtown Austin Texas within 300 feet of Lake Austin and its Amazing Hike and Bike Trail that goes through the downtown along the River (Lake) from Dam to Dam. I bike the entire route almost everyday, its truly amazing!

I have travelled all over the U.S. and much of Mexico, I have even driven from Phoenix to Lands End at the Southern Tip of the Baja Peninsula Cabo San Lucas.

For a living I am an Auto Broker so I know a lot about cars, but I also run a small local business with my partner and best friend called Midnight Flamingo (www.midnightflamingo.com). We have a lot of fun with that!
Im a laid back relaxed kind of guy that enjoys helping people, making people laugh, and I really enjoy learning new things.

PHILOSOPHY

I see my life as a journey through ups and downs I enjoy my ever changing path.
