Capre Diem...trust little in the future

About Me

Born and raised in the Midwest (no not on a farm). After seeing a clear vision of what I wanted my future to be; left everything behind, packed a bag and bought a one way Greyhound ticket to California with 20 bucks to my name and was on my way.
10 years of corporate/management consulting (first firm was launched in 2001). I've had a few businesses and now manage a few companies in different industries including the government sector. In 2005, backed by private investors, consolidated into a holding company and corporation based in Orange County, CA. In early 2008, sold the majority shares and officially retired to pursue personal investments and interests.
Half my day is pure business and the other half is messing around with things, listening to music, playing games and having fun...
Roll the dice until you get it right and never settle for mediocrity ;)

My Interests

Strong coffee in the morning, exotic cuisine, good ole' home cooking (rib stickin' good), diverse open-minded people and new places, realizing/discovering new moments in life as they occur and enjoying the battle presented. - Former Ranked USTA (Tennis) Player, Mixed Martial Arts trained...things I'm looking to do again!

I'd like to meet:

Members of the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission. Anyone who hangs at the Regal Beagle and...anyone who ever was good to me and believed in me when things were bleak, I never forgot and never will forget. For those who didn't, my retribution is who I am now.
