About Me

Where do I start?.....Born in Louisiana and quickly left to see the world as the son of a father in the military we lived all over the world. My formidable years were in Germany, Thailand and the Philippines. Our family ended up in McLean, Virginia where I attended McLean High School before moving to Tempe, Arizona in 1988.I moved to Arizona because I was introduced to rock climbing 2 years earlier through Outward Bound. OB was easily one of the single most determining factors as to who I am today. OB gave me the gift of rock climbing, and now almost 20 years later its part of my DNA.I started Rhino Internet in 1994 with 2 amazing human beings Jeff and Jonathan. Over the 10 years at Rhino I had the honor of working with some of the best people ever. We helped many great companies leverage the Internet as a medium to grow their businesses when early on people thought the web was just a fad.I was married in 2000 to my true love who continues to be the shining star in my heart. Yes, getting married was easily one of my single best milestones yet.:-)In March of 2005, I started the next step in my career as the Director of Online Services with Sharma Leadership International . This incredible opportunity allows me to help human beings and organizations become extraordinary. Working with people on all corners of this planet brings me happiness and the awareness that we are all connected. The world truly is now flat with the Internet. (btw - read "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman if you have not already...)_I work out of my home office in Phoenix and commute 1-2 weeks a month to Toronto.So that's "About Me" for now... I'll write more again another time€.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to Meet - Authentic positive people who want to live their greatest life. People who know this life is not a dress rehearsal and we're all in the same boat. No matter where you live or the color of your skin, if you breathe oxygen we are on the same boat. Like it or not, if part of this boat sinks - we all sink. Believing this, I want to meet people who want to make a positive difference on this planet. Entrepreneurs, Rock Climbers, Yogis, Digeridoo players and Buddhas. Making a difference starts with each of us being good people from the heart.
