Engineer. Artist. Witness. Playwright.
I grew up on a small farm in rural southeast Pennsylvania, studied computer engineering at Princeton, communications management at USC MA Annenberg, worked in advanced media and communications, served as an Air Force communications officer, and found my way into photography, acting, writing, and spiritual inquiry.
My central creative work is The Initiation of the World: Wright, Robeson & LSD, a historical psychological drama centered on James Thornwell, Richard Wright, Paul Robeson, and Candy Jones.
