Biography
I’m currently producing the documentary, Journey to Peace, which explores the real-life stories of average citizens who are affecting the course of conflict in their community through making a stand for peace. I was inspired to do this by a comment the Dalai Lama made when I was interviewing him for a previous documentary, Shadow Over Tibet, “Before you can have external peace, you must have a zone of peace in your heart.” I’ve always enjoyed telling stories that reveal or tease out the best of humanity. I once produced an off-the-shelf sexual harassment awareness training film using humor. Most thought it wouldn’t work, but I figured if I could get people laughing they could finally have dialogue. It worked and was a best-seller in the training market for several years. In the future, I’d like to combine my love of oral storytelling and filmmaking and become a public speaker around the subject of Journey to Peace.
