About Me

Author, triathlete, entrepreneur, producer and financier with a passion for Adventure living in La Jolla, California, New York City and at least one other undisclosed location.

Just returning to Myspace after a life purge of some Kryptonite people.

Where do I start? I love to write, breathe, work and workout. I love people, places, but most of all travel. My soul is made of great music, passion, integrity, adventure, honesty, moments of laughter until I cry, can't breathe and my cheeks hurt. When I close my eyes I can see the ocean. When I wake up, every day feels like clear day after a rainstorm. I love to take a deep breath of the air before and after thunderstorms, and sometimes when I meet someone I feel like I was struck by lightening.

True story: My mom was hit by lightening before she had me, perhaps that's what happened. One of the greatest parts of my life is the fountain of youth we call Triathlon. I've been racing and training for a while, and I'm training for my 11th Hawaii Ironman in October.

I fell in love at least once - it knocked me off my feet, but gave me the capacity to fly. I have had a recurring dream since I was a kid that I am flying. When I was little, I used to get hurt sometimes jumping off of stuff because I was convinced I could fly. My flying dream now happens twice a month or so and I really look forward to it. I can almost feel the same way when I descend a steep hill in the mountains and I stand up and lean forward on my bike.

My entire life is a hobby so I don't have things I do on the side - I just do them all in the middle of my day, and until the part of night that is so late that I wonder when the daylight is going to start to appear outside my window. Professionally: my career focus is to profitably grow Triathlete Magazine - the world’s largest triathlon magazine - and the brand Triathlete -- around the world. Early morning, I train, late night, I write. Working on a fiction novel. My first book is in bookstores - " Attention Deficit Workplace: Winning Strategies for Success in Today's Fast Paced Business Environment ." I'm also working on a book called "Attention Deficit Dating: Winning Strategies for Success in Today's Mating Game." If you want to send me a wild dating story, for possible inclusion - that would be great, let me know if I should change the names of the people in the story.

For more of the "PR version of me, the career stuff, click here ."

Is true love out there? Absolutely, so don't settle. And - the most important thing? Follow your heart and to fall madly in love with something. Find your spark, then persue it with all your heart wherever it may take you.


Thats my dad and I and our dog - Muffin - great memory.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I met Ray Bradbury once, and he said "Fall madly in love, as often and as powerfully as you can." Here is a part of one of my favorite Movies, see if you can guess which one...

PARRISH
Well, it worries me. I want you
to get swept away. I want you to
levitate. I want you to sing with
rapture and dance like a dervish.

SUSAN
That's all?

PARRISH
Be deliriously happy. Or at least
leave yourself open to be.

SUSAN
'Be deliriously happy'. I'm going
to do my upmost --

He smiles.

PARRISH
I know it's a cornball thing but
love is passion, obsession, someone
you can't live without. If you
don't start with that, what are you
going to end up with? I say fall
head over heels. Find someone you
can love like crazy and who'll love
you the same way back. And how do
you find it? Forget your head and
listen to your heart. I'm not
hearing any heart.
(a moment)
Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll
come back. Because, the truth is
there is no sense living your life
without this. To make the journey
and not fall deeply in love -- well,
you haven't lived a life at all.
You have to try. Because if you
haven't tried, you haven't lived.

SUSAN
Bravo.

PARRISH
Aw, you're tough.

SUSAN
I'm sorry. But give it to me again.
The short version.

PARRISH
Stay open. Who knows? Lightning
could strike.
