This American Life…on Love / relationships
Listen: This American Life I finally was able to listen to this podcast on love as recommended to me by my friend Jerry. It’s really a fascinating episode (the podcast in general is great). The most interesting quote from this show (which sort of confirms my thoughts from the other day): “Psychologists say that […]
VVP gets a press mention
Vista Verde Partners, the investment group focused on Costa Rica real estate I co-founded last year, was recently profiled on alternative investments blog, PERE. I have to say I was pretty shocked when the reporter called me to ask a few questions about the company. Unfortunately the article is behind a registration wall (free, but […]
“Tap dance to Work”
Ok I’ll admit the Warren Buffett posts are probably getting a little old, unfortunately fascination of the moment. There are many reasons to admire and respect a man like Warren Buffett (the man is the self made richest person on the planet and he did give away more than 85% of his net worth to […]

As always Warren teaches and shares so much about life and business. I’ve really become a big fan of his after reading R0ger Lowenstein’s book: Buffett: […]
The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett and George Soros
I finally got around to finishing the The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett and George Soros as recommended by Ryan Allis way back when. It’s an interesting and fairly simple read (despite being huge) with a lot of fantastic insights for anyone looking to spend a little more time managing their investments (it’s […]
Happy Birthday Mom
(from my trip last weekend to Deep Creek Lake, MD) So my mom would have turned 55 today. It’s hard to believe a 3rd birthday has passed since her death. I definitely do miss her everyday, but it’s strange how life goes on. It is so weird to see all the cards and letters I […]
