It seems presumptious to write about myself but I will share what many people seem to want to know.  As one of the first "crisis resolution specialists" my life has taken me to more than 100 countries around the world to work with groups seeking to create non-violent change to improve their circumstances. I have also counseled individuals, families and groups all across the USA.  I am commonly a keynote speaker at conferences.   Over time I created my own generic process that works for not only resolving any current issue effectively but moves the involved parties forward beyond it to a quality lifestyle.  My wide travels also exposed me to many fascinating people and unique situations.  These have become the inspiration for my poetry and stories. While I am a published author of non-fiction and poetry I have written fiction for my own enjoyment.  Only recently have I begun  to offer them for publicaton.  Personally I enjoy long walks, sports, nature, and a quiet life of creating with writing, music, and art.     

I have been honored with a number of awards but receiving the first Young Peacemaker Award by the United Nations was the most humbling.
