Since obtaining a BA in Cultural Anthropology from San Jose State University I've: cleaned swimming pools, motion picture assistant property master a few years (Airplane and Mommie Dearest were the most fun), stock trader for a while, husband a decade (to a princess of the once-upon-a-time Italian monarchy no less!), divorced husband of same (no hard feelings), professional actor for a bit with a lucky eight year Honda ad campaign for Japan, professional artist, middle school teacher (lasted a year), designer and builder, Chagora inventor and evangelist.

But most of all, an observer, thinker and learner. I avoided locking in to a particular niche which has kept me outside of the box. Up till recently content with this more passive role in the world as a cultural observer and analyst I've had little interest in promoting observations and conclusions.
