Then, he became Arthur Andersen’s youngest manager, despite wearing no socks. At 26 as a Director for a Software company in Europe and the Middle East, he worked too hard with no clue on frustrating Euro politics. However, he got to couch-surf across all of Europe well before it was a thing, and explored the ironies of the Arabian countries… and Israel...well after it was thing. Instead of quietly just enjoying Paris he almost died adventuring in Africa, which inspired him to end his corporate career, as he tried to take private the publicly listed company in NASDAQ he worked for.

Once non-corporate he go to: Write, design furniture, film, start companies, practice architecture, do kite surf, invest, do social good… Eventually, he built a company to help lower-income people in Brazil, raised $30 million, worked even harder, grew, Economist, conferences, and then as Brazil fell, lost his life’s savings, company investment, reinvested salary, house...when it rains, it pours, lost his mother, family ties, girlfriend...
