About

I was born in central Africa in another world. My family were entrepreneurs, business executives and cattle ranchers. I am forever grateful for parents who loved me and my brother and sister. I went to a great school, St Georges College, and existed in a Harry Potter-like world. A castle with all the traditions included. After serving in the military, I came to the USA and studies for my undergraduate and graduate degrees. This too was another world. I have travelled to over 40 countries. I love travel and people. I left the US for a few years after college but returned again 10 years later to Seattle where I lived for 20 years. I raised my three children in Seattle and after they were launched I moved to Dallas, to help care for my parents, my current city. I met the love of my life and now my wife Krisandra at a Starbucks. I have played and coached cricket most of my life including winning a national championship. I am the author of, "The DNA Code: The Forensics of Purpose, Passion and Performance". I am a photographer, mainly black and white. I love the ocean but not the small shark that bit my foot in the Keys. Krisandra and I live in Dallas with our pup Trax. We are the co-founders of The Legacy Forum and The Family People Office. Faith and Family are my greatest wealth.

The Future is Bright! There are two Prime Directives that drive Fiduciaries (Private Wealth Advisors and Family Offices), in Wealth Management in working with UHNW individuals and families: 1.
