"If only I could ... I'd be the happiest person alive"
Live every moment with the energy that I have when I first see my kids each day...
Top 3 favorite movies?

If you could be a character from Star Wars, who would you be and why?
I really don't know Star Wars characters that well. I would prefer to be George Lucas (Writer, Director)
What's your favorite thing to do on a hot summer day?
Spend the day on our boat with my family and our best friends. Or maybe I should say jumping off our boat!
What's your most endearing quality?
Some say it is my curiosity - some say it is my smile. My kids say its the kid in me - I will go with that! I don't like to take myself too seriously!
What's one of the most daring things you've done?
After I've done them they don't seem daring any more! I've sky-dived, climbed Kilimanjaro, bungee-jumped and rode a motorcycle. That was then. They all seem tame in retrospect. Possibly the more recent daring thing that I've done was to move on from a successful career to explore the unexplored!
What did you want to be when you grew up?
Back then...I thought I was going to be a farmer - and fly planes. I guess I was hoping I might be like my dad - he is a farmer that flies planes. Hopefully I am a bit like my dad - even though I am not a farmer and I don't fly planes - yet.
What's your biggest pet peeve?
Pet peeves.
What's your idea of a great vacation?
Being in a place with my family where we are all in a state of wow - tears in our eyes, holding our breaths and awe-struck at our world! It has happened on the ski hills, it has happened watching a sun-set, it has happened staring up at the milky way laying on the grass at the farm and it has happened at the big top show. It generally happens when I let it, no matter where I might be!
