About Me


I was born in Pittsburgh, Pa and moved to central Florida when I was 5. Here I learned to fish and hunt and swim with gators and snakes. I spent all my summers in Pittsburgh so that accounts for the cultured side of me :) I moved to the New Orleans area when I was 19 and later bought a house on 5 acres north of Lake Ponchatrain. I can hunt, fish, trap, and shrimp. I’ve raised and trained Blue Tick Coon hounds, canned or froze everything that came out of an acre garden and I’m a great Cajun cook. After 20 years I decided to move back to Florida where I ended up living across the Indian River from the Space Shuttle. Can’t remember how many shuttle launches I've seen. Spent most of my time fishing and bird watching in Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge and hanging out at the most beautiful and secluded beach, Canaveral National Seashore. After 7 years I moved down to the Florida Keys and have been here ever since. I live on a 26' Seafarer sailboat at a Marina in the Florida Keys. I have been on sailing trips from the Florida Keys to the Bahamas and Cat Island, Bimini and down to Key West and all around the upper keys with friends. I’m a very laid back and easygoing person who enjoys the spontaneity of life. I’m always ready to go on a moments notice. I'm into green living, healthy foods and herbal remedies for health. I’m on a path of personal growth and spiritual development. I live a very simple uncomplicated life and stay close to nature, and love peace and quiet. I lift weights, inline skate and ride my bike to keep my body strong and healthy. Love nature and science. I’m more into 3rd world country adventures rather than franchised entertainment. I enjoy cooking because I love good healthy food. I'm very handy around the house...now a boat, and know my way around a car and a workbench. I’m very much into music and always have my Ipod with me. I also love foreign films, art galleries, concerts of all kinds, museums, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, yoga and just plan ole exploring this place we call Earth My motto is: N.O.W ...No Opportunity Wasted.

You Are a Rainbow Breathtaking and rare. You are totally enchanting and intriguing. But you usually don't stick around long! You are best known for: your beauty. Your dominant state: seducing.

You Are An ENFJ The Giver You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed. Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections. Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down. You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine. In love, you are very protective and supporting. At work, you are a natural leader. You can help people discover their greatest potential. You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist. How you see yourself: Trusting, idealistic, and expressive

Your Inner Color is Orange Your Personality: A total daredevil, you'll try any thrill. You're easily bored and you prefer to be on the go. You in Love: You see love as an adventure, and you find most men dull. You need someone who challenges you! Your Career: Your ideal job is flexible, fun, and maybe a little dangerous. You have the makings of a private investigator or extreme athlete.

You are Totally Realistic "Romance" means you're about to roll your eyes. Seriously, you can do without the sap or drama. Save it for someone who has nothing really going on in their relationship. For you, love is real - and easily integrated into your life. You don't need candles, flowers, or chocolates to know he's the one. Just some stimulating conversation... and maybe a great smile.

Air You are the Air that maintains life, and what keeps everything grounded. The most intellectual of all elemental signs, you could hold a conversation all night with out ever losing your parties interest. You are highly versatile, and extremely adaptable to new situations.

You love everything that beholds beauty, and you seek out harmony with every aspect of your life. You are the life of any party, you could talk for hours about any subject! Being the element of Air you are: assertive, independent, progressive, analytical, original, inventive, strong dislikes, and firm opinions. Things to be cautious of: you are prone to accidents while traveling, especially while in the Air, fickle nature at times that arouses anger in others, which you often misjudge, you have problems with love due to the fact that you are too indecisive and at other times are too easy to fall in love, which causes anger and disappointment, you are often under attack by narrow-minded people because of innovation, unconventional ways of life, and eccentricities, and you also have a tendency to get into unusual situations and make friends with some "oddball individuals.

Your Dominant Intelligence is Spatial Intelligence You've got a good sense of space and how the world around you looks. You can close your eyes and "see" images. You have innate artistic talent. An eye for color and shapes, you're also a natural designer. Since you think in pictures, visual aids and demonstartions help you learn best. You would make a good navigator, sculptor, visual artist, inventor, architect, interior designer, or engineer.

You are The Empress Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation. The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful. The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business.

You adapt well, and you look at things from many angles. You don't need a lot of space, and you prefer to spend time with others. You are a little nosy and intrusive. You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart.

Television:

I dont do TV. Too much real life to experience!! I love to sail, birdwatch, hike, camp, fish, inline skate, snorkel, bike, canoe, & cook.
I like to travel to new places and meet new people. 3rd world adventures.
Music and art of all kinds.

Books:

I am reading many at this time including A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life and The Power of Intention by Wayne Dwyer.
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Heroes:

People who can love themselves.
