Speaker
I am a natural born speaker, alwaays have been, always will be. The subjects I speak on have evolved over the years and now I am on to Neurophilosophy and brain function theory. It may sound obscure, but it is the heart and soul of whatever your agenda is.
Dad
Primary parent for raising my daughter who is entering college in the honors program. This has been my focus for 17 years and one reason why I am totally pleased. I never doubted my ability as a Father.
Mediator
Always keep your back to an exit.
Playwright
Focused on Hawaii, I have written and produced a number of plays on the stories that struggle to be hears from a paradise that is anything but. In 1993 my playwriting career came to an abrupt halt. It was a question of politics. Yet, I managed to pull off some terrific one man pieces despite being more or less blacklisted.
Wit
If it hasn't emerged yet as you've read this profile, then I am slowing up. I kind of missed a few centuries. There was a time in the courts of France that wit was the most highly regarded of arts. I would have done well. Unfortunately, America is terrfied of wits and only allows a few to survive, and certainly not on the community level. It has been a great asset for what I do, but I make employers nervous.
Visionary
Despite the fact I can't read my own handwriting or do simple arithmetic, I have an extraordinary ability to question and answer some of the more exciting questions of our time. I've written a book on the nature of the mind. I know that some of the insights that lay within are most important to impart to others.
Education
St. David's School - New York
Grammar School Graduate
Grammar School
See my background info if you find yourself gulping in wonder. I know. I know. It is just unheard of, but then you didn't go to St. David's. My Father was a professor and I was raised in the acaademic milieu. I never was comfortable with it for a number of reasons. Yet, what happens? I spend my life as an educator.

Sample Talks
Neurophilosophy
The nature of the mind and how it works. I Powerpoint the audience into a universe they have never imagined. I mean never. This is an importaant tool that is waiting to be understood as to just how to make it worthwhile. Yet, for those that learn of it, they know the potential for true change and advancement is there. This is a pragmatic presentation and I do not offer New Age or spiritualistic ideas. This is brain function for a theatre professional's point of view.
