Greetings, everyone! Welcome to my on-line journal. With as much as I travel, I thought this would be a good way for me to keep in touch with my friends across the world. I was born in Boston to a very unique couple. My father is Italian and my mother is Costa Rican. They actually met in Costa Rica and moved to the United States looking to start an import/export business to serve the ethnic communities along the east coast. They were wonderful role models, and I guess their entrepreneurial spirit rubbed off on me. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, I had some success marketing a product overseas. Now, I do some consulting and some light investing. I have recently started a new adventure with some friends in Raytown, Missouri. It’s a forthcoming coffeehouse named Benetti’s Coffee Experience, and I’m just stoked to be a part of it.

Hello, friends from lovely Kauai, Hawaii.

This place is absolutely georgous. I plan to write some more about the trip before I make my way to Raytown, but right now I have to catch up with a local barista who is a self-procliamed "lava junkie" who is taking me out to his favorite spot near the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to take a look, and maybe even leave some graffiti.

Don't worry, this isn't the spray paint variety. It's a very interesting activity where people bring white rocks and shells to form letters and words.

I thought this would be something that Fez would enjoy, but I haven't seen him all day. Oh well.

Until I return, Aloha!!
