I suppose my passion revolves around people...connecting with others who have hearts of compassion and who embrace a non judgemental mindset.Although my work in business development is focused on helping organizations grow and expand into global markets, I am much more interested in turning my own seasons through rough times into "currency for God" to help people "grow" by being open enough to reveal my chapters that "don't make for good tellin"..unabashedly..to the zillions of people (like I was) hiding pain and problems underneath my IBM "starched shirt."
Studying about how and what moves all of us to action intrigues and interests me most. My hunger for insight from the best business and psychology leaders keeps me in books a lot."Blink" is by far the most true account of how we react to the world.
My hope is simply to make a difference for people who need encouragement.. a hand up or a rope to grab onto....I surely have needed those myself along the way to pull up out of hopelessness.
My taste in music very broad...it is the most helpful "balm" I have discovered thus far that helps me escape from the business pressures for now as I travel so much in my work.....lots of time in
What makes me somewhat unique is that I finally realized I'm NOT..took me some rounds with life's knocks to realize that living "for me"..driven by a selfishness/self centered lifestyle..created the pain I fought so hard to numb.
I maintain an unending commitment to find thought leaders..in business and technology to knit together ways to reach and help restore/educate/motivate/inspire people just like me...who by no fault of their own...were given a bad map to live by...and have ended up in the wrong place .
I miss the pleasure of good fellowship, relaxing and learning how to have fun..how to take off the business the "suit"...and just "be".

Try out a good conversation that has depth and comes naturally....that is the best indicator of an authentic connection...the time or place is really not the important element.
