PERSONAL PROFILE: I'm a dancing, family oriented, art loving, spiritually driven person. I'm Grateful Dead meets Up With People. Dinner with friends and family, happy dogs at play, sweating in a sauna, getting lost in a good story, silence, counseling a friend in need...these are a few of my favorite things.
I was brought up to volunteer and it has lead to much joy and career opportunity. I have traveled the world as a performer and social activist, helped people die through hospice, devoted myself to community, made a yoga music CD (see my music), worked in films with amazing actors -- Bruce Willis, John Cusack, Ed Asner, Roshen Seth, Carrie Preston, Michael Emerson, Sherilyn Fenn, Dan Butler-- hosted a national show on NPR, produced commentaries for Harvey Pekar, won AP awards for feature reporting, and was named by Chicago Screen Magazine as finalist for "Talent of the Year."
I'm in a story out Pyro
Who I'd like to meet: Awassa Children's Project: Aiding Children, Fighting AIDS. This non-profit, grassroots organization supports orphaned children--60 at a time--and One Love Theater, a social issues circus troupe founded by street kids trying to better themselves.
