Personal Information about Art Altman
Born and raised in
Rochester, NY. I took my first position in Chicago, where I spent most of my
life. I was involved with the JUF, on the Boards of the JCC and AIPAC, on the Selective
Service draft board, somewhat active in my synagogue and business communities.
However mostly I worked, too much.
My career emphases were in investment research, computers, and business. I sold my business in 2000 . If you are interested in knowing more, look at Business-Systems-Consulting.com
After getting divorced I moved to Fort Lauderdale to be near family. Unfortunately, most of my family is now gone. I have been active in consulting small businesses thru SCORE, redisigned their website, and automated the division. . I have tried hang gliding, cruising, singing, voice lessons, and attended a few political meetings, however have not gotten involved. I also do some business consulting, computer consulting, and am on the Selective Service (Draft) Board. I travel, and plan to travel more, which will include more cruises, an African safari, and trips to anywhere and everywhere..

My view in the morning
I feel, look and act considerably younger than my age. I have a somewhat ‘different’ sense of humor, which most people enjoy. I have had a couple of girlfriends (lady friends) since moving here, but so far no permanent commitments. Being alone, and traveling alone, is only of limited interest. It would be much more enjoyable if shared, and coupled with romance, especially if the romance is one filled with love.
I am relatively conservative; do not frequent bars, or wild events. It’s not that I am totally socially inept, or maybe it is, or maybe its age (nope: I have always been this way). I can hold my own in most conversations, but with rare exceptions am not interested in fashion, gossip, soaps, or astrology. I also do not like shopping, unless it’s for a car, boat, airplane or hardware.
Despite not working I
manage to stay quite busy. It seems amazing how time goes by. I have been doing
some option investing, working on financial papers, reading, playing with the
computer, and developing some marketing plans to get back into consulting, and volunteer
consulting with Score (Part of the SBA). I am planning on doing some
consulting, and have also become a travel agent.
The
VIEW is mine, Not the boat.
I have 3 wonderful
children. My eldest daughter a Rabbi, my other daughter a doctor, and my son a
student at Columbia. I can brag incessantly about each of them, but will hold
off on that for now.
You
know a bit about me now. There is a lot more to learn, but this should be
a start. I think I am a nice guy, kind, romantic, and all of the other good
things, but then I may be slightly biased. I would tell you about my
faults, but if you really want to know what's wrong with me ask my late wife, or
wait until I can demonstrate. (It’s actually my former wife. I have long
called her my late wife, since she was never on time to anything.)
“Do you always joke?” you may ask. Well
nearly always. Sometimes it is the only way to cope. Anyhow it’s better than
some other bad habits I have seen, and maybe some I have.
In the meantime, I would not mind hearing a lot about you. If you
think we may get along, or are just looking for a good challenge, you can write
back, or call at 954-565-3919. You can also send me a message from my web site,
or directly to mail@ArtAltman.com.
