I invest in early-stage high-technology companies in the Boston area and enjoy equities and options trading. My software career focused on database management and business intelligence as a techie, sales guy, and executive, and always loved the excitement of the start-up. I am NER Co-VP Administration of The Porsche Club of America, and Director Emeritus of Launchpad Venture Group and Lucy's Love Bus.

For seven years, I entertained and hopefully comforted children battling various cancers at Boston Children's Hospital. Told stories. Played about a thousand video & board games losing consistently.

We lost our beloved cat George of the Jungle in December and miss him dearly. Betty and I live with our cat Jabba the Hutt. Unlike us, Jabba cannot drive a Porsche 911. Nor can he ski Vermont, enjoy excellent food, and drink great Burgundy wines.

A return to Burgundy and a winter visit to Breckenridge are possible this year. The relentless pursuit to eat more oysters on Martha's Vineyard continues as will a PCA autocross racing season.
