About
I'm a bit of a wandering soul. After a blissful, if quirky, childhood in Ca, I left at 18, to seek my destiny (you can read about that part on my timeline in 1999). I studied in Austria at CCBCE, then lived in Eastern Europe, in Ukraine for several years, as a preacher and orphanage worker, and have been all over Europe. I came back to the East coast, married to a cool girl from out this way and we had 3 great kids in quick order who are 6, 9, & 10. I started some business stuff, had some car dealerships, and did well for a while. I flipped it into commercial real estate a few years later, to live the good life as a landlord, I already had the skeevy tank top and cigar ready to go. It was a rather ill timed bet, so when the crash came, I hung on for dear life, to the point where I ended up on the streets of NY scalping tickets as my main job for a while. Along the way, I had some bigger life, and at times faith, crisis, some tied to what felt like my life unraveling, but also about bigger questions of life, death and meaning, in general. A couple of years ago I started driving for a limo service as well in Princeton, so I'm out on the road talking to new people all day, which suits me. My favorite regulars are a lot of Princeton profs who I have some deeply interesting convos with. We do Philly, Nyc and the shore for fun. Between my different lives as a preacher, aspiring writer, entrepeneur of varied success, family guy, non-profit cafe manager in Philly and limo driver for some of the greatest minds in the world, I have some interesting stories.
