About
I would have loved to have gone on the Endurance Expedition with Ernest Shackleton, climbed Everest with John Krakauer and explored Africa and Nepal with Peter Matthiessen. They loved adventure, took risks, possessed stellar leadership skills – and lived to write about it.
My own journey and writing has taken me other places, wild and tame, yet no less exciting- like trekking Vietnam solo for a month to retrace my fathers footsteps- he served there in the 1960s with the U.S. Army in the 25th and 82nd Airborne Divisions. I’ve been continuously diving into the frontier of the self through the doorway of Tibetan Buddhism and Zen for over 15 years now. The World Society for the Protection of Animals and the Life Conservation Association invited me to support them in passing animal protection laws in Taiwan and in presenting in Japan on the use of herbal alternatives for endangered species parts as applied in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I’ve recently been granted the good fortune to assist Vistage International in building cooperative leadership groups for CEOs throughout the U.S.; and had great fun hanging out in the White Sox radio booth during Spring Training with Ed Farmer and Chris Singleton and met the legendary Vin Scully in the press box when the Dodgers played the Diamondbacks in Phoenix.
Some of my new favorite things to do include writing about and participating in triathlon and endurance sports.
All things originate from within. My word for 2010 is ‘BE.’
