Genki Media LLCAuthor / Perfomer
Jul. 2023Bali, IndonesiaAfter spending two decades at the top of magazine mastheads and building businesses, I turned my writing, editing, and design skills to writing books. My first two tomes, “The Bali Paradigm” and “Liberty Abroad!” lean into my overseas experiences, which total ten years and counting. A devotee of spoken word for its mix of storytelling and performance, my work blends humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom across mediums. When I’m not writing, I’m sipping matcha lattes, diving with sharks, and scootering my son to school (but never at the same time). Based in Bali, I continue to write, speak, perform and publish globally for restless souls and creatives alike.
