About Me

My photo
I was born and raised in East Tennessee. I have been an ethical vegetarian for over fifty years. After graduating summa cum laude from Tennessee State University, I became a psychiatric teacher-counselor and Outdoor Education Coordinator for Cumberland House School in Nashville, Tennessee. A federally funded research and demonstration project I helped coordinate in southern Arizona received national media and Congressional attention in 1970 when it demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing microwave transmission for mobile medical units in isolated rural areas. Between 1991-97 I was the Executive Director of The Nicholas Group and Executive Producer and writer of an award winning national PBS documentary about the mental health delivery system for children and their families funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Besides being an artist, photographer and writer, I am a highly skilled wilderness instructor. I have directed groups of all ages and abilities in a wide range of outdoor education adventures. I have traveled extensively watching the sun rise and set over such diverse and exotic locals as the Great Wall of China and the Cliffs of Moher.
