Back to Palm Beach

I’m a retired serial entrepreneur and now focused on philanthropy. I’m on several non- profit boards including MTC. (Manhattan Theater Club) and the Australian American Leadership board. I helped jumpstart and I’m a major sponsor of Hamptons Dance Project which is now in its 8th year in East Hampton.

I am a member of the New York Yacht Club and Royal Yacht Squadron in England. I’ve raced in multiple Rolex TransAtlantic races, at the helm.

I’ve been actively involved in multiple America’s Cup programs and love everything to do with the water.

I’ve participated for 16 years in a Healthy Brain Study at Weill Cornell Medical Center in research that hopefully will contribute to finding a cure for Alzheimer’s.
