To be honest, I have a tough time answering that question because I have so many interests . My main source of inspiration is my wife and kids. Jude and I have been together for over twenty years and am very fortunate to have found someone who has the same sense of adventure that I do. Together we decided to sell our lucrative training business and travel the world working with NGOs that focus on challenging social issues such as HIV/AIDS and the Caste system. Jude brings life and positive energy to each of the countries we travel to and works on women's economic empowerment programs that she initiates.
My two boys Willis and Robin are both fine young men who have developed a unique world view as they have travelled. Robin (25), a social activist and wicked banjo player is tackling the challenging world of music on the east coast of Canada, having escaped our parental clutches. Willis (12) is still tethered to his parents and suffers quietly as we drag him around the world. Willis’ blond hair, positive attitude an electric smile has broken down many barriers as we cross boarders.
Personally, I love the theatre and have been onstage since I was a small boy performing magic on the local television station. On occasion I still perform some magic (though I am a total hack now) but am more likely to be onstage in dramatic or musical productions. I hold no false illusions regarding my talent (it is marginal) but I truly enjoy the camaraderie that a production builds among the trouppe. When not involved with the theatre I am usually found socializing with friends or experimenting with photography.
