Hi. Thanks for checking out my profile.

I’ve spent the last two years establishing a new business (a Python computer program that analyses public company financial statement trends), and six months of day and night work. I launched the business a month ago and am ready for some downtime, some fun. For twenty years prior I was an artist and writer who produced books on subjects related to the human connection to the natural world, creativity and the search for meaning. Before that I founded an investment research firm on Wall Street. Before that I fought forest fires in northern Canada. Beyond that I don't talk much about my life because people stop believing me.

I have homes in Monkton Vermont and near Essex New York, deep in a nature preserve. I’m looking for an apartment in Burlington. And I'd like get get one in Jacksonville, Florida, for those colder Vermont months that I used to love.

I’m into melodic jazz music, coyotes howling at night, great dinners in good restaurants, and close friendships with interesting people. I try to walk for an hour a day in the woods.

I’m at a stage in my life where I’d rather learn something new and interesting than make money, although both are of interest. Mostly though, I love birdsong, owls hooting through the night, reading books that authors have poured their heart and soul into and my dog Fozzie Bear, the best dog in the whole world, bar none.
