I decided to trade my Mercedes for a backpack and travel the world for one year, seeking knowledge and hoping to change my controlling business personality and come back to live in mellow satisfaction with life.
Travel gave me a unique perspective to reflect on my family, and myself as a man and individual.
I was born in Long Island, New York, 1944, as a fourth child, five minutes older than my twin brother. My mom was a nurse, and my dad an insurance salesman with the voice of an opera star.
As a young man I formed a vision that drove me all my life: A great family and enough money so that nobody can pull my strings” That vision was so powerful I knew I could make it come true.
Growing up, I was surrounded by many powerful women who greatly impacted my future.
My grandmother once said to me: „Always remember, Denny, fifty can be the beginning of a new life rather than the beginning of decline.” I was three years shy of fifty when I started my new life.
