I'm a songwriter, and the producer of the award-winning, critically-acclaimed record, top-selling indie music CD Pacific Coast heard on FM radio across the United States and Europe. I also presented an original Folk Rock Opera titled Highway One with an 8-person ensemble on 08.08.08 at 8pm.
I'm also a Scholar concluding a B.A. in
English Honors at CSUN; I
completed undergraduate programs in
History, Philosophy and
Religion. I'm now beginning an M.A. in
Literature and a second Baccalaureate in
Religious Studies.
I'm currently at-work on a thesis regarding Jesus
as Literary Hero, tentatively titled
"Jesus as Subversive Teacher and Unruly Social
Reformer in the Gospel of Mark."
I'm a distinguished fellow of the Phi Theta Kappa
International Honor Society: "The emblem of this
Society shall be a golden slab. The center of the slab is a
black band upon which three Greek letters appear, Phi Theta
Kappa. These letters symbolize the Greek words for wisdom,
aspiration and purity. The wreath of oak leaves denotes
stability and strength of character, and the curling leaves
of laurel signify achievement and success. Above the band
is a representation of the head of Athena, a symbol of
Learning; in the base appear the mystic Greek letters
meaning light, the light of learning and knowledge."
I drive around Los Angeles in my 2006 Honda
Insight, the most fuel-efficient car on the
planet. The license plate is MOCSHA: from
the Sanskrit word moksa meaning, approximately,
"transcendence of illusion."
