Introduction I'm sometimes described as a Renaissance Man whatever that means. I guess I'm forever changing what I do, what I think, and what I learn. I've lived in, and travelled to, many parts of the world and am lucky to enjoy an interesting and varied lifestyle. I'm a writer, a teacher, a pilot, a yogi (the founder of Phoenix Rising), and a pretty good Dad as a result of five kids as my teachers. I was born in Australia and lived there before coming to the USA in 1984. I also lived 4 years in Papua New Guinea in the early seventies. I can get by in Greek and French and am still fluent in Tok Pisin from my days in PNG. In the eighties I spent the best part of a year living on the Greek Island of Lesvos. I love the community life I enjoy with my wife and family in the Berkshies and in Maine - (schools, friends, extended family, business partners). I also have a "camp" in the North Woods of Maine and love to spend time there hiking, fishing, and just enjoying "life the way it was meant to be". The quiet of the outdoors in Maine reminds me of Australia even though it's altogether different. Hope you enjoy my stories. Please leave a comment.
Interests Family, writing, hiking, fishing, yoga, aviation, health, wealth, the art of the win/win, real estate investing, good food and wine, and the Katahdin Region in the great state of Maine.
