Curiosity about people, places and cultures —and connecting with them — drives me personally and professionally. That's why I love hosting the annual StratCommWorld strategic communications conference (www.stratcomm.world). I meet fascinating and accomplished people like Spencer Stone, a brave hero who prevented a massacre aboard a high-speed train en route to Paris from Amsterdam.
I derive great satisfaction from sharing communication strategies that I have developed and executed for companies and clients on six continents — with students in our Global Strategic Communication Master's Degree Program at the University of Florida.

Like so many others, I was saddened by the passing of Harold Burson. I had the privilege of knowing Harold some 30 years. We first met when I was a mid-career professional, and he and I were active in the International Public Relations Association.
The Little Traverse Conservancy is preserving significant land and scenic areas, and fostering appreciation and understanding of the environment.
I support and encourage individuals with mental and physical challenges. One initiative I love is Challenge Mountain, which works to enable individuals with special needs to participate in outdoor activities and to experience cultural and social outings.
