I had a few new visitors look at my About Page in the last few days and they then sent me email asking me “more” about me.
So here’s your chance – ask me anything – I’ll answer honestly or decline to answer at all.
Hopefully you ask good enough questions that I can fill out my “About” page.

@Deannie – yes, he is. He’s not very good, but he appears to be having a lot of fun
He IS?!? My daughter watches that show…wow
@Paul – I think it’s great – he’s having a blast, according to his blog posts – and is including his entire family in the experience. I certainly wouldn’t do it, but that’s just me
But I don’t really see a downside for him.
.. and what do you think of Mark Cuban’s participation in ‘Dancing with the stars’?
From ZzzzzWake:
“What are you most proud of”?
This is easy – I fought for custody of my children, and won, and raised them right. I think.
But I am most proud that I fought what most considered to be an un-winnable fight.
I’ve done well as a single father (IMHO – time will tell) – and I hope that gives others some energy to fight the fight – not just for custody, but to be a great father.
Anyone can be a parent – it takes more than showing up to be a great father.
I am most proud that I had the guts (and support) to show up.
I love my kids.
By adding this comment I am not excluding other questions on this topic – but I do want to cover the most often asked question -
“Are you making a living off consulting?”
Difficult answer for an easy question. No, I am not. But I’ve structured my finances in such a way that I don’t need to (I have no credit cards or debt beyond my monthly utility obligations and my mortgage). Mostly, I work for equity. Every deal is different, but basically no – If I were an average American with average American debt I could not be doing this now.
But my consulting is bringing in enough income that I can work at home, work on what I like to work on, and buy most of what I want, and all of what we need. No – it isn’t making me rich – but the freedom I get from it makes me feel rich.
And rich means something different to all of us – I feel rich because I have the freedom to to what I want to do. If your definition of rich is a Ferrari, then we just have different expectations.
I think of myself as breaking even now and investing in the future. Equity is a wonderful thing. I highly recommend it.
