Bio
1963 to 1981 are somewhat hazy. Then, I quit drinking and drugging. Somehow, during that time, I managed to survive a tour in the Air Force, hold teaching positions at three different universities, tour the world with my own theatre group, marry and divorce more times than I care to remember, progenerate one, beautiful daughter, Cricket, in 1969, and stay out of jail.

The consulting business I founded in 1983 has provided me with adventure, travel and enough money to live beyond my means. Two brain surgeries, one in 1996 and the other in 2002, killed me, but I insisted upon returning. The latter left me with over a foot of pig artery replacing the original human version. (Thank you, I've heard 'em all: my nickname around the house is "bacon brain".)

Six years ago, I married Angela in a package deal that included two great kids: Chloe, now nine, and Melissa, now eleven. We live on five acres of trees, creek and critters in the San Jacinto Mountains of Southern CA. and rarely leave unless the kids have fast food withdrawals.
How was adult life different than what you expected?
I'm alive.
Plans or goals for the next 5~10 years?
Stay alive.

"The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
