| Introduction | My opinions, observations and analysis are based on over ten active years collecting art. Understanding, appreciating & collecting art is an exhilarating yet time consuming process that demands total integration. There are simply no shortcuts to developing a trained eye that responds as well as rejects. I graduated in 2000 with Beta Gamma Sigma honors and an MBA degree from Emory University, Atlanta. Up until 2004 I was a professional at Microsoft’s headquarters in Seattle where I spent a good part of my time looking at art from a global perspective. |
| Interests | Contemporary art including design and architecture. Foreign films, yoga, adventure travel, photography, golf, horse riding and stimulating conversations |

| Favorite music | Mood based but enjoy hindustani (especially Sultan Khan on the Sarangi)as much as western classical. Will listen to Jazz, pop, electronic, reggae too. Also love soundtracks and movie scores |
