ABOUT

So, what can I do? 

Well, I can rock platforms like I was born in the seventies, make a mean dark chocolate pepper biscotti and run a six minute mile (without being chased). 

Also, I’ve created award-winning advertising, written lyrics, sung and co-produced two CD’s. I publish books, essays and poetry. I've created an Evolve The Conversation salon series a la Gertrude Stein, gotten an MFA in creative non-fiction and poetry and publish a blog called Curious Pilgrim. 

I’ve pitched business. Launched brands. Written strategic decks. Increased revenue from one to two billion. Worked around the globe. Raised five puppies and two boys.

But who am I?

I am a curious and passionate pilgrim.

I love adventure. I’ve haggled for rugs at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, tasted local honey in Montserrat, worked in an orphanage in Cartagena, bought cartoon boxer briefs in Aix-en-Provence and gone acorn-hat-hunting in the backyard with our sons.

I love imagination. Manifesting ideas. Creating digestible art. Entertaining. Translating strategic vision. Cross-pollinating. Innovating. Collaborating. Inspiring.

What have I learned?

If you start with a fundamental human truth, you can build anything. Framing the real problem is the only way to find a solution that works. If you pay close attention, doors can open you didn't know were shut. A sharp wit and kind heart will take you far.
