    • Interests

      Love music, a rock 'n roller, play the drums. Love cars, especially German sports cars and good ole US muscle cars. I love the intellectual side of life, reading, discussing, dreaming of ideas. Have enjoyed a spiritual journey for past few years studying the teachings of Ruiz, Tolle, Joseph Campbell, Tao, Buddha, Native Americans, and others.
