I'm presently CEO and Owner of Speakeasy, Inc., a global communication consulting company with offices in Atlanta, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Amsterdam, and ongoing operations in Boston, Mumbai, and Hong Kong. Speakeasy provides strategic communication training and development for some 5000 executives annually, representing 350 companies around the world including Cisco, Coke, Time Warner, Accenture, Microsoft, Visa, and Ernst & Young.

In addition to working at Speakeasy, I've been working as a successful artist for some 40 years, through LivingByDesignArt.com. Creating large works that bring visual pleasure to my customers is very gratifying.

I've also published an Amazon best-seller and Axiom Business Awards gold medal winning book called DARE! that focuses on trust and honesty in business. DareTheBook.com

In my spare time I spend as much time as I can with my wife Marci and our three adult children, splitting our time between Atlanta and Jupiter. I'm an avid sculler, been rowing ever since I rowed crew at Michigan State. I also enjoy backpacking and boating.
