CURRENT MISSION

Currently on a 'professional sabbatical'-- exploring the world to meet and learn from others

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Boston, studied in France (Grenoble), Ireland (Dublin) and Canada (Montreal) and lived in NYC, Washington DC, and for the last 8 years, San Francisco. I started an Internet business in San Francisco 10 years ago and just sold it, so I'm looking forward to doing *new* things with new people to make new friends and new experiences.

I left sf last summer and have been to Iceland, Sardinia, Croatia, Berlin, Vilnius, Dublin and have plans to Finland and Lisbon, then I have no idea where to go for December and beyond!

No idea how I'll be gone for or if I'll return to the US!

PHILOSOPHY

Learn from others, don't be petty, be hungry and curious.
