I also serve as Director of Media for the Guestbook Project, a nonprofit led by Professors Richard Kearney and Sheila Gallagher whose mission is to promote peacebuilding through storytelling.
I’m also a long-time musician (bass guitar) and enjoy reading, mixing cocktails, watching TV dramas, and listening to blues music.
