About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore areas, people, cultures and languages of interest to me!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Canada, but have lived in various countries around the world. I am a dual citizen: US/Canadian. I have spent my career in computer hardware and software Sales and Marketing. However, I seek ways to connect on an international, cultural and even humanitarian level. I love to find common connections with others throughout the world and learn to better appreciate them.

PHILOSOPHY

I have learned to value appreciate and respect various peoples, cultures, languages, and feel enriched by them. I believe all humankind is a vast family of brothers and sisters. I am not a big believer in class distinctions. I think we should respect everyone, regardless of their differences. My wife and I are recent empty nesters with newfound time and freedom.. We have no enemies, only friends we haven't yet met.
