My vision is "Joyful Living for All through Conscious Choice," and my mission is sharing that vision with the world.

I am an author of self-awareness books and a Daily Inspiration quote and insight, and have been dubbed "The Philosopher of Happiness" by those closest to me, in recognition of my on-going commitment to seeing Joy in all of life. My current book is Simply An Inspired Life: Consciously Choosing Unbounded Happiness in Good Times and Bad (co-authored with Mary Anne Radmacher - author of Live Boldly and Lean Forward Into Your Life), published by Conari Press.

My wife Suze and I summer on Whidbey Island near Seattle WA and winter near St. Petersburg FL.
