About The Founder

When I was young I worked in my father's neighborhood record shop in New York City. We had the biggest 45 collection in Brooklyn. I've been around recordings and media as far back as I can remember.

When I was too young I lost my mother  to cancer. When she passed away I vowed to make something positive out of the loss. I turned to writing. So in college I transformed my writing into  a successful musical Kaleidoscope Grey at The Evergreen State College, the show finished off with a bang and closed on May 18, 1980. The same day Mt. St Helen's erupted for the first time!

After school I started a business recording conferences. At the Association of Humanistic Psychology conference in 1984 we recorded some lectures that would prove life-changing. Some of the speakers were, Rollo May, Armand DiMele, Jean Houston, Lawrence Le Shan, Joseph Campbell and many others. The lecture that I recorded by Bernie Siegel would prove to be one that like a booster rocket correcting course, would guide me towards self help, personal transformation and holistic health recordings, productions and publishing. I could not help but think if Bernie were around years before, if my mom was exposed to him, could his inspirational and profound work have helped her?

After this experience I was compelled to produce and distribute inspirational media. So for the next 20 years or so I produced media designed  to spread healing, wisdom and wellness. I had the distinct privilege of working with His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Marianne Williamson, Dick Gregory, Gloria Steinem, James Hillman, Robert Bly, Thomas Moore, Deepak Chopra and many others.

After a decade of developing and producing websites - I'm back with Better Listen!

Better Listen! represents a personal return and re dedication to a more mindful, happy and engaged life - both for me and my family. I look to forward to your input and feedback.

Thanks for stopping by.
