Bio:
I love anything involving natural beauty with aerobic capacity or "near-death experience" danger. Other loves are photography, cooking (not escoffier style, but "de Roulet style"), home brewing excellent beer, Baroque music, gave up epee fencing, sky-diving, and motorcycling.
I love Caribbean blue-water sailing or wreck diving on Nitrox, soaring from Truckee to God knows where and back (longest flight - 7 hours), snowshoeing at altitude when it's snowing "chicken-feathers" and dead quiet, powder riding on my sweet new board, wake-boarding with my 3 boys and their girlfriends, road riding on my custom tandem with my lovely wife, mountain biking on tough single-track with a home-brew as an "end of ride reward", trail running along the Truckee River, kayaking in one of my tandem kayaks at Sand Harbor with a picnic lunch, a five minute walk from our home to Coki Beach to have morning coffee with my wife (and snorkel to find my buddies, the resident grandfather lobster and octopus), sea kayaking around the pelicans at Megans Bay, sailing with friends to the BVI's and back...that's the good stuff. I've soared as high as 18,000', jumped at night from 13,500', and submerged 822' deep into pitch black ocean at mid-day.
My life is like a perpetual "recess" at grade school, and as they say....the sky's not my limit, it's my playground!
