Hi! I'm Alan. Professionally, I'm both a business generalist, and a specialist in a number of subject domains (e.g. GRC, InfoSec, BCP, ICT, HR).
I've worked across industries, sectors, and locations around the world in-person and remote!
All the professional stuff about me is at:

I live in San Francisco, am from South Florida, and have also lived in Orlando, Dallas, Austin, and Honolulu.

I live a purpose driven life seeking to serve and make a positive difference in the lives of others because I don't know how long I have.
Because, in 1984 I learned I had HIV and thought I had about a year.
Well, I'm still here, still don't know how long I have, and still am driven to serve others.
My life is not about me, and I'm grateful for that.

I'm intense.

I'm FUN too.
I love travel for work or play! I'm not a tourist, but rather an adventurer. I'd rather the milonga than a "tango show".
