I live in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. My interests are generally in sailing, golf, photography, and history.

A great quote: "the internet is populated by eggshells armed with hammers."

My educational credentials are BS University of California Berkeley, and MBA University of Notre Dame. Life experience includes 20 years of business management and entrepreneurial success.

    • It's easy to confuse notability with prominence; "Notable" is not a very high standard, just worthy of notice. The guidelines purposely avoided words like famous, important and prominent and chose notable as a lower threshold.
    • Remember that it is harder to build than to tear down.
    • Civility and respect are key to this project. However, Wikipedia is not a place for therapy, solace, or cuddling; these are available from: most moms, loving dogs, and carefully chosen prostitutes. We are writing an encyclopedia which can be a brutally hard experience for the timid or fragile souls. Sometimes we must call a spade a spade, notwithstanding a bit of discomfort to the ego in the process.
