I am an unusually versatile writer with 35 years of experience as a journalist in print, broadcast and online media and as an author, editor and publisher with 13 books to my credit.
I have written about nearly every subject under the sun, from business and personal finance to natural health, sustainable living, advertising and international marketing. In the interest of further diversification, I’ve recently taken on the pleasurable task of editing publishing a Zen priest’s journals and a book of poetry.
