I was not a normal child. While other kids were playing baseball or Barbie, I was contemplating the meaning of the universe. At age twelve, I refused to attend church any longer, declaring "Nature is my sanctuary," and walking the woods behind the church while the family was inside.
I was always telling stories. My first venture into multimedia storytelling came when I was about ten years old. My friend Kurt and I wrote a story that we "filmed" with an instamatic camera and black-and-white film. The marionettes my grandfather gave me were the actors: a clown, a wizard, and a French poodle. I can't remember the plot we cooked up, but the fiery conclusion took place in a metal trash can.

I’m passionate about the environment, and I believe we need to stop poisoning it (and ourselves). I believe that once we’ve stopped poisoning ourselves, humankind can focus on making the next step, maybe understanding and tolerating each other, moving on and becoming all we can be. I believe it’s possible, I really do. The first step is to de-tox our environment.
There are non-toxic ways to do most things. We just need to find them.
