I fell in love with Costa Rica as soon as I saw its beauty and felt its spirit. My good friend and guide,"tico" Juan Carlos, found a lot in Manuel Antonio and we soon designed and built the upper house with local workers. Peace of Paradise was born. My friend Len, a retired teacher from the U.S., helped us design and build the lower house a few year later, again with local workers and artisans. My business in the U.S. provides businesses and hospitals with software solutions to optimize their business processes. I am dedicated to education, to church and other charitable foundations, and to the welfare and safety of my community. I plan to retire soon to Costa Rica and Peace of Paradise and work first hand, with Juan Carlos and Len, to maintain our casas with local help and to use part of any proceeds to sponsor and support youth environment, and community organizations in Manuel Antonio and nearby towns.
