Interests I enjoy spending time with my family and watching movies. I have two little girls and a wife of 27 years (we dated 7 before getting married). I enjoy driving my 1985 BWW 535i hard even though it has left me stranded more times than I care to remember. I have owned several BMW's to include 740iL ('98), 328i ('98), and a 535i ('91) and hope to get an M3 soon!. I love to write insightful and impacting articles for my business audiences. My style is always grinding edge and fresh. I try to say things in ways that resonate and make people think. I read books on marketing and business, politics and military history. I love listening to music and smoking cigars. I love the taste of beer and have several brands that I enjoy and once made my own beer which I loved the best. I volunteer at my local church teaching K-2 in Sunday school which I try to make very innovative and fun. I challege the kids to think creatively and to be dynamic in our discussions. I am a professional networker. If you need to know somebody and I may be able to help you get in contact with that person.
