My Story

I started as an attorney, where clarity mattered. If something was misunderstood, it had real consequences. That trained me to break complex ideas down in ways that actually make sense.

I’ve never really changed what I do. Only the tools have changed.

You’re not behind. You just haven’t been shown how this works yet.

I help capable adults—especially those who feel like they should already understand things like AI—learn how to think through them clearly, without overwhelm or intimidation.

This isn’t about keeping up with technology. It’s about understanding it well enough to use it on your own terms.

Retired attorney. Artist. Author of 60+ books.

From being a lawyer, I moved into early internet entrepreneurship—long before most people were comfortable online. I built and ran a technology company, spoke on digital strategy, and taught New Media Marketing through UCLA Extension. Even then, my role was the same: helping people understand something new that felt intimidating.

Then I moved into the creative world—writing, publishing, and building a body of work across multiple genres. That’s where I refined something different: how to make information approachable without watering it down.

Now, I’ve brought those two worlds together.

AI is where many people feel behind today. Not because they aren’t capable—but because no one has explained it in a way that respects how they think.

That’s the gap I work in. I don’t teach shortcuts. I don’t hand out scripts to copy. I teach people how this actually works—so they can think clearly, ask better questions, and use these tools independently with confidence.

Because once that clicks, everything changes.

If you’ve ever felt like you should already understand this—but don’t—you’re not alone. You’ve just never been shown in a way that fits how you think.

My work has been recognized across national media, including appearances on PBS, Discovery Network, ABC, and CBS. I’ve also been invited to speak and teach for organizations such as UCLA Extension and national creative conferences.

What I do is simple. I help people understand things that initially feel confusing or out of reach—and turn them into something clear, usable, and even empowering.

Today, that often looks like AI.

But what I really teach is how to approach new tools, new systems, and new challenges in a way that allows you to move forward independently—without second-guessing yourself or relying on someone else to tell you what to do.

Once you understand how something works, everything changes.
