I have worked as a political activist since the Vietnam War days, promoting peace, social justice, civil rights and environmental protection. I believe that in a democratic society we are all responsible for working together to protect our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and to oppose forces of greed and oppression. I have worked as magazine publisher and editor, a video producer, a musician and a community organizer. I enjoy gardening, photography, reading and hiking in my spare time.
