I’m a 20 yo in a 72 yo body. Father of 5, grandfather (“Pa”) of 12.

Author, speaker, columnist, entrepreneur. I advise on marketing, branding, advertising, productivity and LEVERAGE.

I wrote children’s musicals when my kids were young. (Real ones — pantomimes, school musicals, etc.)

Intelligent, articulate, wry sense of humour, incorrigible and fearless/foolhardy warrior-philosopher, professional writer, speaker and entrepreneur.

I'm interested in people, ideas, creativity, visual and performing arts, spirituality, innovation and sheer joy of life.

I'm committed to principles, not dogma or doctrinaire politics. I detest hypocrisy, venality, bigotry, brutality, betrayal, boorishness and bad manners.

I'm easy-going, fun-loving, mix with anyone and make friends easily. I'm ferocious in defending the defenceless and I understand commitment. I make waves in pursuit of just causes, but I don't crowd, I'm not possessive and I'm non-judgmental, generous, tolerant and forgiving. I embrace change and I'm at ease with myself. (All observations written by my five adult children.)

I'm articulate, engaging, erudite, enigmatic… passionate and outgoing at times, reserved and introspective at others. But I'm not moody or intimidating. I'm the eternal optimist… a pragmatic visionary.

I create intellectual property and enjoy an international reputation, but there's no ego to feed and I invest emotion only in people, not ideas, money or 'stuff.'

I also have Asperger's Syndrome, a neurological condition on the mild end of the autism spectrum. I'm mildly effected and exceptionally self-aware and I deal with it. But I prize integrity, so I mention it now… I'm an open book. I share this condition with some well known Aspies including Einstein, Newton, Mozart and Bill Gates.

We also have difficulty judging what value others place on information, so we tend to "dump" data and leave it to them to decide.

Just like this profile. ;)

(The associated risk is that body language is largely invisible to Aspies, so I won’t see your eyes glaze over… sorry!)
