CURRENT MISSION

Discovery, simplicity, joy and peace at all costs. I try to limit my dogma.

ABOUT ME

After my dear wife and soulmate passed in 2010, I sold our home and company and traveled for a couple years. Nice and slow.

I am interested in the common threads woven through humanity and I want to know what these are. So, favorite questions I have for others:

• What is most important in your life?
• What are you most proud of?
• What brings you joy?

I learn about myself through listening to others talk about such things.
