An artist since birth, I taught myself photography in Junior High School, and finally made it my full time career career in 1993. When "selfies" became the new standard, I left the portrait business that I loved, and entered the finance industry. Since then I have become a professional life insurance advisor, and an expert in the Infinite Banking strategy, in which I specialize. My dad was a professional pianist, so I was raised around music, and picked up playing the drums in grade school. Being rather cumbersome to pack around, I later switched to guitar. I am, (again), self taught, and don't read music, so play "by ear". My preference is blues and rock n roll. I'm not very good at it, but I very much enjoy playing my six string guitars. I've always enjoyed playing sports, and played football and tennis in high school. I picked up golf in my 30s and quickly got "the bug" in a big way. I finally got my wife to try it, and she soon caught "the bug" as well. So, we enjoy playing a round of golf at least once a month - more often when our schedules allow. I'm a bit of a coffee snob... I love quality dark roast coffee, and we grind ours Turkish style for the maximum flavor. My wife and I start our day with a large mug of the "bean juice", and I habitually have another about mid day. I love good Scotch! Single malt or blend. I don't care if it's age stated, and I don't care if it's "bargain priced". It's the aroma and the flavors that I respect and enjoy. My favorite seems to be those from the Islay region with the big peat smoke influence. But, it depends on my mood. I also enjoy Speyside, Highland, Isle of Skye - well really - ALL regions! Speaking of smoky... I love to BBQ! Love me some thick, tender steaks on the grill! Lobster, chicken, shrimp, sausage... whatever ya got! Throw some on the Bar-B mate! I enjoy cooking in the house as well, but my favorite is BBQ! I'm not a kid any more... But hey - 60 is the "New 40"[link-omitted]t? I enjoy dressing up for an occasion, but even when I'm going casual, I prefer quality "duds" that are comfortable and look good. I've been an exercise "nut" since I was 16. Although I don't do the serious bodybuilding routines any more, I do work out at least four days a week. I eat healthy, and keep fairly fit. Health and fitness are important to me. After all, without your health, what have ya got?! I'm by no means a "geek", but I do have my electronic devices, and when I need or want a new one, I do my research, and shop for the best quality and value. We don't upgrade every time a new model comes out, but we did upgrade to the latest Galaxy phones a year ago. And we have a desktop, a laptop, and a couple tablets that we use daily. So, while we aren't at the head of the pack, we aren't dinosaurs either! That said, I think I'll have a Scotch, and play guitar for a bit before retiring in front of our 65" HD TV...
