I went to college in the 60’s. The politics and general state of cultural revolution that occurred at that time beginning with the Civil Rights movement in the USA, then the Vietnam war, the sexual revolution and the social and political world wide repercussions musically, environmentally and spiritually all stimulated me to write. I have always been independent in my thought process. My bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and my master’s is in Special Education enabled me to work as a creative and educational consultant for “thinktanks”, publishers, the US Government and corporations. As a “flower child” of the 60’s I am strongly motivated to entertain. I believe it is when the mind is relaxed that our greatest ideas surface. I believe the role of the artist in society is to hold up a mirror to enable people so they can pause, reflect and move forward. Generally I hope my writing will create awareness and change.

I have written many screenplays and theatrical plays.

I have been a writing professor at Manhattanville College, SUNY (Purchase) and The Bank Street College of Continuing Education.

I have worked as a communications consultant for private businesses and also indivuals.

I have had readings of plays in NY and in Paris.

I have had stories, poetry and essays published on-line and in print.

My book, Fine Tuning, has been featured on television and is scheduled to be featured on The Montel Williams Show (2006).

Currently I am involved with a forthcoming Art exhibiton in Dubai. I am involved in the development of a documentary film titled "Anatomy of an Artist" which features Paul Duncan. I am creative consultant for the formation of a new cultural center New York City. I have been interviews on television about the power of our intuition and how to use it to motivate. Also currently I am teaching two courses on line as part of the Long Story Short School of Writing. One is about Fine Tuning your senses and enhancing your writing and the other offers insights into Re-Writing Your Work. I am available for private consultations, and corporate strategy sessions.
