Philosophy

To continuously learn from, respect, and appreciate other human beings and nature.

I am an American/Californian film director/producer and co-creator working remotely from my lovely RIAD in the Marrakech Medina where I host guests, friends, and family from Europe and the USA and occasionally host couch surfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked on movie and media projects with Dr. Jane Goodall in Austria, Uganda, Tanzania with the amazing Jane, and the Roots and Shoots children and teens in Uganda & Tanzania.

The Roots and Shoots children and teens inspired me and taught me numerous valuable life lessons.

On the same trip, we met and filmed the awe-inspiring Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania founders and team led by a best friend of mine from Austria and his incredible Tanzanian Scientist Earthshaker wife who introduced me to Bart Weejens, of the incredible Apopo Hero Rat Project
