Bio
After a dozen ventures in a dozen countries on four continents, I still love new products, markets, and new ideas; particularly those interrupting old inefficiencies to a better use our limited resources, worldwide, and always in awe of life. Some ideas fail, others don't, some you barely survive.
Money:
Designer (Jewelry)
Trader (Gemstones)
Consultant (International Digital Marketing / Start-Ups / New Market-Entry)
Passion:
Writing, the merciless compulsive disorder (CD) caught me in grade one. It devours every hour during and after my work is done. Outside Tai Chi, meditation, audio-books (which is but writing in reverse) and family not much remains. Several books, short-stories, screenplays, essays etc., have not cured my CWD, nor freed me from earning hard cash, even if Amazon, Smashwords, and Audible pay for a monthly dinner or two.
