WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW:
I was an attorney for a while, working as a Public Defender. If I hadn’t lost my way, I’d still be happily serving the indigent. But I went on a longer path, and I’m now working as a trainer of all sorts, with acting and voice acting on the side.
MESSAGE / REFLECTION:
Oh, Peace Child – thank you for empowering me in the most crucial years of my life. Thank you for giving meaning to otherwise “typical teenage” years. Thank you for instilling faith in an otherwise faithless young man. Thank you for connecting me with some permanent friends. Thank you for continuing the work, long after I became a self-focused adult. My heart swells when I think of you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
