ABOUT ME

I have traveled most of my life for work and pleasure but have been settled for the past 20 years in the Philippines, built a business, and raised a family of 3 kids aged 21, 17, and 15.

I have now separated since 2020 and also retired and took a trip around Asia for almost two years. I was in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, India and Nepal.

I have returned to The Philippines and looking to settle down again.

PHILOSOPHY

Think BIG but keep it simple!

Interests

Having three small kids has kinda changed my life a little and redirected my focus on kid's activities like playing with the kids at the beach but my personal activities are now GOLFING and motorcycle riding. I have quite a few kilometers of riding under my belt all over the Philippines.
Don't believe anyone that tells you that Mindanao is dangerous. Take it from someone who really knows and not a bureaucrat sitting at a desk in an Embassy somewhere thousands of KM's away.

(UPDATE September 2023) . I finally retired but I am the same crazy free-spirited as I always was.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to report but a few that comes to mind is spending the night in the Guatemala jungle at Tikal next to the Mayans pyramid (Tikal National Park), had a fantastic time there singing and drinking with some locals.
I was also quite amazed by spending a few days in Cappadocia in Turkey, I lived in a house carved in the side of the mountain again singing and drinking Raki with the locals. Big hangover here!
