More about me

I'm divorced, 54, have 2 beautiful daughters, a fantastic son-in-law, and the best father, brother, and sister in the world! I'm an artist, public speaker, licensed wedding officiant, and all around good guy (just ask my ex-wives).

My current project is establishing a consulting/educational business focusing on the disease of addiction. Our culture views addiction as a moral weakness and character defect even though extensive research over the past 2 decades has provided undeniable proof of the physiological basis of the disease. These changes produce significant alterations in the individual's body and behavior, eventually leading to death if intervention and treatment aren't instituted. We will never win the "war on drugs" unless we change our battle plan. It's my mission to be one of the forces that changes that plan.
