Call me Island Boy! Right now, I'm living out my fantasy on the tropical paradise of Boracay. I've designed and built a house on top of this heaven which I rent out when I am away.
I retired after the 9/11 disaster to a new career in education. My wife Lynn and I have a small school on the island where we teach the expat children pre-school through high school. Even some college classes in evenings for an HRM 6 month certificate. I am the principal and Lynne is the Exec Dean. We have over a hundred students.
In a previous existence, I was in program management on the Stinger Missile Project (25,000 employees).
I attended Annapolis (class of '71) standing 11th in my class and completed my MBA at Cal Poly in '85 (Cum Laude). I am a decorated Naval Reservest (Desert Storm and Viet-Nam era), and was active in community service with many organizations.
As a part-time volunteer, I represent the U.S. Embassy on Boracay as the island Warden. I also maintain emergency communication capabilities through amateur radio (high power SSB and CW).

As High School teacher and Principal, my time is taken with youth activities. We have introduced beach soccer, swimming and Sabot sailing to the locals.
We have a movie night once a week and scouting is quite popular here.

Ok, I have too many hobbies. I still love amateur radio and what I started as a boy has kept me employed all my life. I play guitar and sing. I enjoy cooking for the foreigners here.I love sailing, exploring new places and talking with most people, diving, photography, and collecting art.
I enjoy my jeep, motorcycle, and gardens. I work at speaking 5 or so languages and hope I'm a good parent.
New hobbies are hunting for Japanese treasure, writing, and being psychotherapist for my friends.
I lived for wrestling when I was in college and highschool, but no chance these days. I guess I should have gone out for golf or tennis back then (NAW)!
Wife Lynn is so active in tennis. Former Pres of the Capitol Tennis Club of Aklan. Its not realy my game, but I am learning (She's so good!). When it comes to wrestling and guitar, I'm better.
