I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I have two terrific sons, Jordan and Justin – Jory just started college
and is a very talented artist and filmmaker. Here he is (white shirt) with
his friends and younger brother Justin (red/blk shirt). I love 'em! :-)
If you still haven't seen this, you need to check out the last lecture of
Dr. Randy Pausch called "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." Try to watch
the entire thing...he died of pancreatic cancer in July 2008 but talked
about how to live one's life and to not give up on your dreams. It's very
moving and inspirational...should be required viewing on how to live!

You are sociable, outgoing, energetic, and lively. You prefer to be around people much of the time. You are generally calm and composed, reacting moderately well to situations that most people would describe as stressful. A desire for tradition does not prevent you from trying new things. Your thinking is neither simple nor complex. To others you appear to be a well-educated person but not an intellectual. You have some concern with others' needs, and are generally pleasant, sympathetic, and cooperative. You are reasonably reliable, organized, and self-controlled.

I used to do a lot of photography and am thinking about getting back into it
and shooting some stock photos or something. I worked for a newspaper
as a photojournalist at one time and really enjoyed it. Here are some pics
from my portfolio (mostly old, but some new). Can't believe how much
the photo industry has changed since then...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Students, former classmates, friends...and Alex Bogusky of Crispin Porter
Bogusky, the most talented creative in advertising today. Here's a pic of
former student Albert Nance with Alex at CP+B in Miami.

Steve Jobs of Apple, so I could tell him how his products have changed and
shaped my life. Hope he gets well soon! Bob Harper and Chef Rocco,
who help me get into better shape and cook healthier food.
