I gave one of the graduation speeches at Mountz Grammer School, Spring Lake, NJ, (except mine was a scathing rebuke to all the adults who had completely screwed up the environment and world politics for my generation to try and fix).

I was president of my class at Manasquan High School, NJ where I recorded an album and sang, played piano and guitar, and acted in all different sorts of events - rock concerts, choir concerts, musicals and plays - I was accepted into the "Acappela Choir", "Mary's Canarys" and the "All State NJ Choir" (I was the very lowest accepted audition score...and the youngest).

In regards to my two Magna Cum Laude bachelors degrees - Systems engineering and Finance from (snooty, snobby) "Ivy League" Wharton, the "no. 1 business school in the world" (Business Week): "I wouldn't WORK if you paid me!!"

I studied both Finance at the Wharton School of Business (which is consistently rated the best business school in the world) and Systems Engineering at the Moore School of Engineering (where they invented the 1st computer) all at the snooty, snobby "Ivy League" University of Pennsylvania, Philadelpia, PA.

"It's never about the MONEY, or even the MUSIC: it's about the PEOPLE!
(and animals...and plants and environment and...)"

"It's not WHAT you're doing or WHERE you're doing it - it's WHO you are doing it with!!"

I was born in Manhattan, New York City, NY. My family resided in Spring Lake, New Jersey, USA (town of the newly wed and nearly dead!) for 35 years, but I lived in Boca Raton, Florida, USA for ten years and Tallinn, Estonia, EU for three years and Tartu, Estonia, EU for 6 years!
