Hello! Feeling a bit guilty that I haven’t done an introduction before, but I don’t want the latest iteration of me to get buried totally in a discussion of my past. That’s because, at various stages of my life, I was a soldier, a well-known U.S. diplomat, an international crisis and financial consultant, a lecturer, and an author.
But now, I head up a small start-up company, Bridge of Gold Entertainment LLC., that writes non-fictional and fictional feature length screenplays.
Our flagship offering, “The Embassy”, is about what happened to us at the climax of Liberia’s civil war in 2003. It’s the real “Blood Diamonds” story. 14 major contest accolades so far. In addition, my little company (of just 4) has written horror and sci-fi offerings as well as “2020”, which spans several screenplay genres.
Finally, I want to thank all those who have interacted with me on Stage 32. I came here to learn anew, and I am. All the best!
