Welcome!
My passions are history and literature. I want to understand how the world works, how we got here, and how humans as thinking, feeling, reactive beings deal with all this. Seven years ago, I decided to devote myself to writing full-time. Late start, I know. But honestly, I had a lot of personal growth to do before I could reclaim my font of creativity.
Grist for the writer's mill is what I tell myself about the decades I spent campaigning for a variety of good causes. I got to know political and business leaders, celebrities of all stripes, and a lot of smart, hardworking, compassionate people (and a few snakes who should have been more careful). My adventures in "making the world a better place" would fill a whole collection of short stories.
Along the way I was privileged to study with thought leaders and practitioners of spirituality and human potential. My first book is a memoir of the six years I spent at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California.
