SOCIAL IMPACT FILMMAKER, AUTHOR, COMPOSER, PEACEBUILDER
Thank you so much for visiting my website.
I’m a screenwriter, producer, director, composer, author, branding specialist, and Chief Visionary Officer of GlobalPeaceYes.org. My peace entertainment film, “Admissions”, stars Academy Award® nominee and Emmy Award winner James Cromwell and addresses the Middle East conflict and the power of forgiveness to heal interpersonal and international conflicts.
“Admissions” has now won over 30 International Awards, and has been translated into Italian, Hebrew, German, Arabic, Farsi, and Spanish and broadcast to 80 million homes in The Middle East. It is also utilized by The Stanford University Forgiveness Project to teach forgiveness. The film continues to screen in important venues across the globe including The Parliament of World Religions, The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library, and The Rotary Global Peace Conference. My original theme song for the film, “The Time Is Now” was a finalist in The Global Peace Song Awards.
I recently wrote, produced, and directed my new film on cyberbullying, “The Principle”, starring 4-time Grammy nominee, Mickey Guyton and which premiered Summer, 2024 at The Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change’s “Be Love Day” celebration. I also co-wrote and co-produced the film’s theme song, “Love Being.”
I’m also the author of the inspirational books, “Mind What Matters: A Pep Talk for Humanity” and “The Mind Supplement” and have a third book on the way.
Here, “Admissions” is being presented to His Holiness the Dalai Lama by “Admissions” supporter Gary Wintz. A complimentary viewing link to “Admissions” is below the picture, along with links to some of my other projects.

Review of “Mind What Matters. A Pep Talk for Humanity.”
Parting wisdom to say thank you for visiting.
1) You are a “love being.” This means you are not just the love in your heart – you are love itself. All the great teachers and teachings throughout history confirm this, so embrace, celebrate, and thoroughly enjoy the beautiful reality of what you truly are.
2) Forgive yourself. When you let go of your guilt, there is no longer any need to project it out in the form of an attack. When you don’t attack, you don’t have to fear being counterattacked. This is when lasting peace begins.
3) Common ground is the only place peace and love endure. Therefore, always seek unity.
4) Heaven is joining. Hell is separation. Lovingly avoid any type of thinking or action that makes you an agent of separation.
5) There are no justified grievances. They only make life hellish. To re-enter a heavenly state of mind at any time, let go of all grievances.
6) You are teaching every moment. How you think and act confirms what you believe yourself to be so always remember to come from love. When you forget, forgive yourself without delay because this will put you back into a loving state.
7) Everyone is both teacher and student. Embrace each role with grace and gratitude.
8) There is only one of two things that is ever really happening in the world. People are either expressing love or they’re crying out for love. So the perfect response, every time, is to be loving. Then you can surrender the outcome and sit back and enjoy watching life unfold.
9) Retrain your mind. Learning to consistently come from love instead of fear can take time. The goal is to eventually build that mental muscle up so strong that you effortlessly respond with love to everything you see in the world. This is when life itself is transformed.
10) Every relationship is ultimately a relationship with yourself. Treat yourself and those around you with love and you will love being alive.
