Originally from Portland, Oregon, I've owned my own "edutainment" publishing company, Bookmark Inc. of Los Altos, CA. I later managed/booked artists like Kool & the Gang, Amina Figarova, and many others internationally under Bookmark Productions. In LA I was a partner of a Music Mgmt/Film production company (Opinionated Music & Film)with offices on The Lot on Formosa, represented in USA by Loeb & Loeb and Rick Citron and in Europe by UK Division of the British Embassy. We attended MIDEM annually. Presently I'm working as a film Producer /Agent in Alabama, and Partner of Trison-SEP and Bodacious Pictures, representing documentaries by Director Steve Davidson, and a thriller "The Request" by John Kim, as well as recently publishing a book of poetry by East Indian poet KB Manchanda to be released this month on Blurb.
