​Welcome!  It is nice of you to virtually drop by.

I maintain this website for a number of reasons. Friends, family, and former students who wish to keep up with my life's pursuits appreciate the care and detail with which I compose these pages. On a deeper level, spending this energy writing about my art, teaching, and travel experiences allows me to fully define their meaning and bring them to closure. And yet another reason is that I simply like to write.

​Perhaps someday I will try to attract a wider audience. But for now, I am content with knowing that you, dear reader, are out there somewhere appreciating the delightful ways human beings can connect.

Nothing brings me greater joy than contributing to this world as a teacher, a friend, one who holds others to high standards, and one who serves the needs of people wherever I go. Each day, I strive to reflect and improve the clarity of my words and the integrity of my actions. In spite of my mistakes, I persist with the goal of learning and then applying what I learn in order to do great things for others. This is because I believe that no matter what you have lived through, it is never too late to begin living the good life. :)

As your eyes meet my words here, let us join together in the journey of learning all we can know about the universe and ourselves. Work with me to bring forth grace and success and loving-kindness in everyone we meet. I am here to serve your mind's curiosity and, perhaps, to become your audience.

As Confucius once said:

"To learn and then, in its due season, to put what you have learned into practice--is this not still a great pleasure?"

Have a wonderful day.










If it calls to you, please enjoy this Independence Day presentation I gave as a guest speaker at Unity of South Sound, a community that studies New Thought teachings and philosophy. Recorded June 28, 2015.
