About Me

I have my own practice as an entertainment and business attorney. I also work as a professional photographer. I lived for two years in Paris and worked as a tour manager for musical groups, mostly jazz, traveling through Western Europe. I've enjoyed other careers as a fine art consultant; as director of massage and body treatments at health spas locally and educator at spas around the US. In Paris I had two massage offices, one with an acupuncturist and another at a dance center. I also lived in Hawaii, both on the big island and Maui. I love to play guitar, travel, foreign languages and cultures, cooking for myself, friends and family, do tai chi, dance, hike, snorkel, walk on the beach, put the top down on my convertible and drive up the coast. I have the best dog on the planet, who looks and acts like a fox. I keep my life drama free. I 'm more of an action/adventure or romance/comedy guy. I work to live, not live to work. My sense of humor and physical activity keep me connected to my intuition, to the present and the unexpected opportunities life has to offer. I fully apreciate who I am and what I get to be/do in this lifetime.
