About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling America (and soon the rest of the world) on my "Remembering Pete Seeger" World Tour - singing with people in their living rooms, arts centers, churches, you name it.

ABOUT ME

I am a semi-retired runner (1 mi - 5K); taught 14 years at Kaplan Test prep, mostly the LSAT; practice meditation (or actually contemplation); and I love to meet people and learn more about the different perspectives people have on life.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we are all here to help each other live, love and learn and that we have all the tools we need to shape ourselves and our world into what we wish them to be. For some of us, these tools are within our grasp. For others they are at arms length. And for others they are just beyond arms length, but they are still attainable IF we all work together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have performed at festivals with Pete Seeger and have sung with Pete Yarrow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I tutor Guitar, Stage Performance, Songwriting, LSAT, GRE, GMAT, SAT. I teach the fundamentals of esoteric geometry - I mean really simple fundamental stuff upon which you can build more knowledge.
I love to learn history. I can always use a better understanding of computers, web building and tech stuff like that as well as how use a home recording system.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to listen to people's stories.
