I've been involved in environmentalism, in one way or another, since the first Earth Day back in 1970. More recently I was on the organizing committee for Climate Action Day this past April, as well as having participated in KC's Climate Protection Planning Process.
I went to college in Boston and graduate school in Hartford, Connecticut, before a brief sojourn to Europe and Africa. I was lucky enough to have been a Peace Corps Director in the Caribbean, working with some of the smartest, most dedicated people I’ve known in my life. Before that I had spent two years in Venezuela and a year in Ecuador, and managed to see some of the most breathtaking sights in the world.
Along the way I spent some time in Miami, taught, wrote, acted in repertory theater and, maybe best of all, was paid to pretend to be a nature writer in Botswana at the Kansas City Zoo, where I passed my days with 8 African elephants, which is as good as it gets. The past several years I’ve been self-employed.
