Once upon a time, I was an aerospace and IT engineer and then an industry executive. I finally relinquished his suit and tie to start a consulting company, Celerity Works, in 1999 where I advised over 500 company and government executives and managers.
Now retired (from work), I spend most of my time FaceTiming with our grandkids, writing essays and books, raising money with (and for) my wife of 55 years for MS research and services, creating graphic art, attending SGI Buddhist discussion meetings, seeing a wonderful therapist, playing piano and harmonica, and weather permitting, hiking on a beautiful island in the Pacific Northwest.
Based on the presentation I've given to over 3,000 high school students, Eleven Life Lessons for Teenagers (and Everyone Else) is a 50-page guide (now also a FREE Flipbook) filled with wisdom and insight for teens and parents who're looking for help responding to their teenager's concerns. Intertwined with an honest sharing of my own personal challenges are the answers to eleven of teen’s most pressing questions including making a difference in the world, dealing with depression and anxiety, making mistakes, getting bad grades, improving relationships, taking risks, and finding hope in a challenging world.
My solitary endeavors during COVID isolation (including playing music with our band, Good Karma Blues, in my garage) culminated in four published books: The Essential Guide to Managing a Government Projects and How to Win in the Government Market (with Mark Amtower), The Muse Within: Unlocking Spiritual Growth Through the Eyes of 34 Writers, Artists, Musicians and Philosophers and My 50 Years of Buddhist Practice, I'm also the author of How to Develop a Winning SBIR Proposal (with Eric Adolphe).
I've produced numerous webinars (many are still on YouTube!) and written several hundred magazine columns, articles, and blog posts on a variety of business and Buddhist-related topics. I'm also the author of Romancing the Buddha (fourth edition) which I adapted and performed as a successful one-man show that can be watched on YouTube.
