I feel most at peace when I become completely absorbed in painting-when the world around me fades and I lose all sense of time.

I feel most at peace when I am active and able to channel both my mind and body. For me, that happens at the gym, while walking, or out on the golf course. Those are the places where I can quiet the noise and focus on being present. The gym reminds me of discipline. Read more>>

In the spring 2021, I launched The Goodbye Family: The Animated Series, now in its fourth season. Read more>>

I feel most at peace when i’m writing or at the beach. As far as writing it’s the most calm feeling for me to write stories and create ideas and then see them play out on the screen. Read more>>
