Stuart Spikerman:  

I'm on my 4th life, the 1st being Michigan Life, followed by Airline Life (22-35), then Entrepreneurial Life (35-50), and now, I don't know... What the Hell? Life. I'm living in Los Angeles but New York City was my home for 30+ years and I think of myself as a New Yorker. I've been in a mid-life crisis since I turned 25 and apparently I'm staying there (got the motorcycles, toys, scars, tattoos, and divorce papers to prove it). I've traveled extensively (Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South America, Russia, some Asia) for work and fun when I was young(er) and had a great time.... and still travel quite a bit. Started dancing obsessively at 51, everything: swing, salsa, ballroom, even the Hustle believe it or not, but for the past 12 years Argentine Tango has been a passion. I have 2 apartments in Buenos Aires and go there twice a year for a few months at a time. (Update: sold those in 2012) I missed that all-expense-paid trip to Vietnam we were offered in the 60's. No regrets. My apologies to anyone who remembers me at Cooley. I'll be the first to admit I was a real jerk. Hopefully I'm better now. My only child, Lisa (her mom, Candy King, graduated from Cooley a year ahead of us) lives in LA and is a professional photographer married to a Producer, and they have three boys ages 13, 11, and 9. "Grandpa" is still a term I bristle at... love the job, hate the title. Been married 3 times (see "jerk" above). I couldn't get out of Detroit fast enough...Expand for more
