My library reflects my life. Books on water polo honor the memory of my coach at UC Berkeley, Peter J. Cutino. Books on military history relate to a life long interest, and my service as a combat pilot in Vietnam. Business books touch upon several start-up business ventures. C.G.Jung said a person should study philosophy in the latter part of one's life. I've taken that advice and my library supports what has become my passion.

I'm a retired airline pilot and former USAF officer with an interest in meditation, consciousness studies, and particularly the philosophy of Franklin Merrell-Wolff, B. Alan Wallace, and Ken Wilber. I like to read about current affairs and am attracted to Ken Wilber's idea of "integral politics," with my own neo-conservative bias. My favorite poets are Kahlil Gibran and Rumi.
