About

I am an American Transporter of 30 years, I have been in trucking, warehousing and transport management. I spent 9 of the last 12-years managing US Govt transport contracts in Kuwait for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I have traveled nearly all the globe and worked in Antarctica and also traveled through major parts of East and North Africa during times of turmoil. I am currently selling my operating Coconut Estates in Sri Lanka, but am desiring to return to the ME, Africa, Hong Kong & Asia, or where ever I can continue my specialty. I am the father of eight, Grandfather of 7, and I have one son who is handicapped with Cerebral Palsy, so I understand commitment, Responsibility, and Integrity. I am seeking to find and openly discuss opportunities for me globally with persons in contact with contacts or opportunities anywhere a decent expat salary can be obtained.
Interests: police dogs, racing, outdoors adventures

Occupation

I am Retired.

Kadigamuwa, Sri Lanka

Sept 2000 - Jan 2013

Kadigamuwa, Sri Lanka

It used to have a good president, now it is just a corrupt little minded dynasty that steal from it own and build it own family
I do not think SL is a suitable place for Western Foreigners to live and raise a family, An occassional 2-day tour is manageable, but for safety and cleanliness, there are too many other Asian nations that are well equiped for tourist and money trading
