I have done a number of topical testimonies before Congress and periodically written a column for local publications and a few articles for regional and national publications.

I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and grew up in Pasadena, California. I have a Bachelors degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara and a Masters degree from Occidental College, graduating from the CORO Foundation Fellowship Program in 1976.
