Formerly a music producer and live/studio engineer, I now concentrate on progressive activism and writing a political column. My diverse background also includes co-founding a national non-profit health concern, United Federation of Orphan Disease Organizations, which sponsored medical conferences, treatment protocols, and testified for increased funding for the study of OD by the National Institutes of Health. Currently, am a member of the Principle's Project Communications Steering Committee, and a boardmember of the Tucson Area Literacy Coalition, a group which advocates for literacy services in Southwestern Arizona.
