My background in journalism led me to write a book in 1992 about the founder, Werner Erhard, who had been maligned on CBS' "60 Minutes" and subsequently sold his organization to his employees. The yearlong investigative work on this book required extensive traveling both nationally and internationally to research court documents and interview family members, former and current employees and participants.
After the book was published, I resumed my participation in the work of Landmark, which has provided excellent training for me in leadership, communication, living my dreams and being happy under any circumstances.
A documentary was produced in 2006 about Werner, which showed what he had been up to since leaving the country in 1991, including a snippet about the "60 Minutes" piece and the book I wrote about it. The documentary, "Transformation: The Life and Legacy of Werner Erhard," has been shown around the country in various film festivals.

Book about Werner Erhard
In 1988, I started a lifelong relationship with Landmark Education, a corporation designed for ongoing personal growth and development (it was called Werner Erhard and Associates when I started).
The numerous courses offered through this organization that I participated in included several levels of communication courses, being part of a team and many other avenues for looking at how we operate in the world -- all of which have been tremendously beneficial in my personal and professional life.
