I am a management consultant with a small firm that works with multi-national pharmaceutical companies. I went to school at Colorado College then went on to U. Washington in Seattle for an advanced degree in Statistics. After Seattle, I joined my current firm and was told to get a passport ASAP. I filled it up in 2 years (and then LOST IT!) working all over. In one two week span from Chicago I saw Bogota (then back home), then Mexico City then Jakarta.

I was in Chicago for two years, then San Francisco for three years. I recently moved to Dallas. In Chicago I was 50/50 United and American, but SFO is a big United hub so I was at PE for the last two years. When I moved to Dallas, I got American to put me to Platinum early, but I made it on miles in December. Most of my trips are domestic hops to SFO, Chicago, Indy, Philly or Newark, but I was down in Sao Paulo 6 times in 1998 and Mexico City 6 times.


I am one of those crazy people who is relatively comfortable in coach, so I do not upgrade very often, but when I want to, I almost always get it.

I spent 3 weeks in Argentina in 1996 on vacation and 2 weeks in New Zealand in 1997. When I fly overseas I get business class or I do not go.

I have been to Belo Horizonte and must say it is a very nice and friendly city.
