Owner Urban Trails Kayak Co. My commute was either jumping into my kayak, from my Miami Beach backyard, paddling 4 miles in Biscayne Bay, or bicycling the bike path, along the Atlantic Coast, when I was in a hurry. 2 locations, near Bal Harbour. I taught thousands what a kayak is, and how to paddle, and how to value and enjoy life on the water. I also hired a lot of people, that changed the course of their life, of which I am most proud of!
After retiring, I ran a B and B for Alaska Discovery, for two summers. 2005-2006, in Gustavus, Alaska, the most beautiful and favorite place I have ever lived. If not for the winters...Next door to Glacier Bay National Park! Kayaking with whales, sea lions, killer whales, camping near brown and black bears, bald eagles, either by myself or with Cynthia, and sunlight all day and all of the night! Cant sleep, 3am, I go for a bike ride and ride with the moose, etc. Go back to sleep at noon, or whenever. Exactly a 5000 mile car ride from Miami Beach, to Haines, Alaska, ferry to Juneau, and a 4 seater airplane ride, to Gustavus, through some of the most beautiful country, in the world..
