Yes, we've met. You said I resembled your Mother-in-Law...

About Me

I've been a very lucky Man so far (knock on wood). I'm very athletic and keep in great physical condition. I am a business man and also a writer who enjoys a spirited intellectual conversation. I have lived many different kinds of existences, but remain grounded and down to earth. I love to ski, golf and spend time in the great outdoors with my horses as well as write and read philosophy and practice martial arts. I love all animals, as you see from my photo's, I have several. I do however have an phobia of cats that are larger than German Shepards or dogs that are smaller than rats...perhaps I could seek professional help..."Those who love with everything, lose everthing. Those who love with irony survive. Layout made by
