Prince Edward County: Alan Gratias, Private Investor

"If you want a formula for successful retirement -- you have to avoid three things, bridge, golf and sailing," says Alan Gratias, investor, creator, and inventor.
The 61-year-old businessman/retiree hasn't slowed down since he retired at age 49 after working two decades as a trade negotiator with Agriculture Canada.
As a retiree, Alan says that when he wakes up, it's important for him to have something to do.
Alan is the inventor of Gravitas -- the little box of big questions, which is in its second printing, and he's currently in negotiations for a lifestyle/reality show based on the game. He is also owner of the Arts On Main Gallery in downtown Picton.
At the moment, Alan and his partner Joanie Hilborn are involved in The Merrion Square Un-model project in Ottawa.
The Un-model project has Alan and Joanie, a designer, creating their own "model-home," the way they would do it.
Currently Alan and Joanie are working on developing their Crumbling House wine "Deo Gratias" at Cressy House, located on the eastern edge of Prince Edward County.
An accomplished renovator -- Cressy House, is a 200-year-old Loyalist farmhouse, one of the many "crumbling houses" Alan has saved throughout the years.
