Writer.
Wanderer.
Wonderer.

All my life, I've been an observer driven to capture—through a lens, by a pen, on a page. This urge to freeze and frame what I see has taken me on some pretty big adventures into the creative process. 

Step into the frame with me.

Born with an adventurous spirit.

Every step of my journey has been about exploring, creating, and sharpening my vision and the vision of others.

Driven by the creative imperative.

I've always been compelled to put life under a microscope to see what it's made ofto dissect it and to refit it.

Energized by the opportunities behind and before.

Published poet, award-winning photographer, former teacher to members of Saudi royalty and the Japanese Naval Academy. Now in my seventies, I'm focusing decades of creativity and communication expertise into a new adventureas an editor and author.

I was sensitive to God from an early age, but I always associated Him with death more than life.

Death is humanity's universal problem. We spend time, money, and energy trying to cheat it or distract ourselves from its inevitable control. Give God a Fair Chance is the culmination of a lifetime spent seeking a solution to that fundamental problem. 

Does God exist or doesn't He?

If he doesn't exist, so what?

If he does exist, then what?

Give God a Fair Chance answers the question "then what?"
