I should receive my MS Graduate Degree from UT Austin this summer of 2014. (CONT'D BELOW)

Mei Lien and I are moving to Jacksonville FL summer of 2014 for my 2 years of PHd work at the University of Florida and Mei Lien has taken a position as CEO of a Jacksonville area hospital.

Following our Jacksonville FL adventure we will move to Barilouche Argentina for 9 months of each year and 3 months at the Brock Family cabin in Taylor Park Colorado (the most beautiful and funnest place in the World for me).

I am also currently an Oil & Gas investments Technical and Business Advisor consulting to High Net Worth, High Net Income private individual investors and privately held companies that are not knowledgeable or connected to the tightly held Oil & Gas business community. Turns out that everyone with a net worth of $5 million or more desires an Oil & Gas portion to their investment portfolios. The good Oil & Gas investment drilling and production deals never hit the streets so with my many industry connections and resources developed over the 30 Years of my Oil & Gas technical and personal investments career I can help these wealthy people develop such an investment portfolio. I am not a Broker.
