The typical bio starts out with lots of history, schooling, accomplishments and on and on... I am not your typical person and very thankful for that. If I was typical I would still be delivering the mail in Wenatchee, WA and just now getting ready to retire. If I was typical I would have missed out on the following....

At 36 I woke up one day and decided to quit the USPS when they needed me most....the Christmas holidays. With that final punch at 3:15 pm on December 15th a new freedom rang out in my life. I had decided to become my own boss and control when I went on vacation, took a day off, even when I could go to the bathroom without asking someone. Hopefully you have that freedom also.

My first adventure was in the financial world as a stock broker and financial consultant. This was the most eye opening event in my life. I recognized that NO one will take care of your financial future like YOU. I was licensed with every securities license you could get and helped people realize that if they didn’t take control of their finances the future and retirement wouldn’t be all that exciting.

After working with over 500 families in five years, I decided that I would pursue my other love and that was music. I started a sound contracting business that evolved into a music store and recording studio. I did the marketing and outside sales (business/marketing was my major in college). This business grew to be the most successful store in North Central Washington.

So how can I be of benefit to you and people like ourselves that want something different...and not be typical....I have searched for over 15 years for a place that would meet all my expectations and allow me a comfortable, fun and exciting retirement...WAY before I was 65. After exploring most of Mexico and Central America I found my new home in Ecuador. The cost of living in Ecuador is better than I ever imagined and the people are fantastic!

What I can offer to people is a straight forward honest take on living in a Latin American culture. It isn’t for everyone, but those that love this type of culture and life style will most likely fall in love as I have with Ecuador. I will tell you the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of my experiences here.... there is way more Good than Bad and Ugly.

So pack you bags and make what could be the most incredible journey of your life (or at least one of the most incredible) to Ecuador. The rumors are true that this is Hands Down the best deal in Latin America for living the good life. Please feel free to contact me with your questions and thoughts.
