about me:
Retired in Las Vegas now, but I traveled the world for forty years bringing groups of divers to the best diving sites on the planet. I did much exploring on my own and led coutless group expeditions. I specialized in sharks back when people were afraid of them, and tried for many years to convince the public that these much-maligned creatures were actually very beautiful.
my interests:
Diving, sharks, national parks in the Southwest, classical music, reading, politics
my favorite music and artists:
Too many to list, but mainly the Romantics and moderns. Have a huge collection ranging from Mahler and Bruckner to Zwillich, Tower and Rouse.
my favorite books:
The Black Swan (Nassim Taleb), America Alone (Mark Steyn, A War like no Other (Victor Davis Hanson), 1776 (David McCullough), The Endurance ((Caroline Alexander), Meltdown (Patrick Michaels),
my favorite TV shows and movies:
Watching television is a stupendous waste of valuable time.
