Here's the short story: I'm a 7x serial entrepreneur, retired. One claim to fame is inventing and programming TeleMagic, the first #CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software product, in 1985. Back then there were no other products like it, so the category name #CRM did not even exist yet. Now the #CRM sofware business is worth a couple of hundred billion dollars.

I built a company around that software, and it grew quickly, but eventually the stress got to me, so I sold the company on October 2, 1992. Then I bought an open-cockpit biplane, became an adventure aviator for the next seven years, and wrote a couple of books about it.

Today I live quietly by the sea in Del Mar, California, where I love helping startup entrepreneurs. I also enjoy shooting pool, playing freestyle beach Frisbee, and riding a nice bicycle. Since 2016 I've been working with a skilled and passionate team building the iPhone app ToBeWise Pro.

I started building this website when the internet was just getting going, and because I like to write, there are currently 606 pages and 1,673 photos here, not counting my many blogs and other websites.
