About Me

Poet, Marine, Uber Geek, Father (and now, Grandfather), Traveller, Champion of Lost Causes . . .
My working life centers around technology and telecommunications. At my heart, I am a Poet and once (and always) a Marine. I've been around the world more than a few times. And, made more than my fair share of mistakes . . . Some of them more spectacular than others.

I'll tell anyone, I'm not the easiest person to know. There's a good part of my life I don't talk about. I am thinking to use the blog to talk about some of that . . . Hopefully, it gives some dialog. It's been an interesting journey.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Arthur C. Clarke -- He fired my imagination to look to the stars, but always to be grounded in the world. He's on a journey to another world . . .
Mary McAleese, President of Ireland -- Who through personal adversity found a path to bring peace and prosperity to the Emerald Isles.
Osam bin Laden -- Let us just say, to finish a job that got left undone . . . May I embrace you as I would a brother, then god willing, make sure you burn in hell.
George W. Bush, President of US -- To tell him to get his head out of his @$$. I greatly respect his father, but not him.
