I like to consider myself to be a passionate person in everything I do. From work, to home and everything in between, I believe I am best described as someone who does not believe in mediocrity at any level.

Working for an international company with considerable responsibility (but no more than most), I enjoy embracing everything life has to offer and savoring the moments along the journey. Whether sitting on the sofa in sweats watching a movie or having a great dinner party with fantastic food and wine, I prefer neither and relish the moments doing both.

Working on my first book and soon to be published in several publications, I also speak at universities and at social and professional groups on several subjects (if interested, reach out).

I enjoy fitness, cooking, music (all genres), animal rescue, family, friends, cycling, and many sports and sports related activities.

Not a wine snob, just a lover of the grape, wine is the conduit for many of my passions and I am proud of my cellar as I continue to learn. I love wines from all over the world and love to find hidden gems from the less popular places like the Languedoc and others.

I enjoy making new friends all over the world and from all walks of life. PLease feel free to reach out and say hello!
