I am fascinated by world culture. I guess I’m sorta an amateur sociologist. Have traveled around the world over a dozen times. Naturally this led to my import business: THE HIMALAYAN TRADERS. Have also studied world history. Very influenced by those who came before. I particularly like to read about beats, bohemians, and 60’s subculture. Spent much of my life practicing Meditation & Yoga. I went to Maharishi International University as an student of Eastern Philosophy. Went on to study with many great masters inclueding OSHO (Shri Bhagwan Rajnesh) and H.H. The Dalai Lama of Tibet. Love ethnic world beat music. Used to DJ and still explore new music all the time. Have started writing again regularly. Was a screen writer in Hollywood for awhile and now I’m getting back into it!
