If you need a speaker, I’m available to speak at your event.  I have expereince in speaking on a variety of topics such as: cults & cult life, writing, songwriting, public speaking, mass media, and the history of folk-singer/activist Woody Guthrie.

I’ve had more than 12 years of experience as a college lecturer, writer, and musician.  I’ve worked as a radio announcer in Washington and Idaho.  I’ve given several lectures on public speaking, cults, and Woody Guthrie in Washington, Indiana and Kansas.  I’ve written several graduate papers on religious cults and completed my Master’s thesis on the protest music of Woody Guthrie.  I’ve written and co-written several books, including my first published work A Train Called Forgiveness.  I’ve taught college classes in public speaking, mass communication, interpersonal communication, advertising, broadcasting, and feature writing.
