He went on to work for four decades in the fields of human and organizational development and executive coaching in global non-governmental organizations, healthcare and charter school systems, and the U.S. Agency for International Development. His experiences in the "Majority World," (the 80% of the Earth's population making less than $10 a day) and in organizational systems and dynamics, provide an international and multi-cultural backdrop for his humanistic perspective. He has served as a panelist for the Maryland State Arts Council Individual Artist Award for literary arts. Previous individual work has been published in the Delmarva Review.view less
