Introduction | I am the little known American that co-conceived and co-named: "The Americans with Disabilities Act" (January 2, 1968), co-created the field of Rehab Architecture (1985 - 1987), and much more. It all began with what I did the day before, however, and such will be written about someday, albeit perhaps from a fictional perspective. The reality is that I/we are "officially" restricted from ever talking about what really happened, and what took forty-two years to achieve. I came, I saw, I envisioned and changed. I am a "change agent", at a time and place in history when our world and our nation needed same. Change doesn't occur merely because you may desire it to; it takes collaboration, team work, unanimity of purpose, and understanding of the basic, underlying intent. It is my hope that you can all benefit from the fruits of my labors, and those of all that I have worked with and for in these endeavors. |
Interests | People - especially but not exclusively those with disabilities as well as professionals from all different disciplines. Writing, editing, public speaking, teaching, training, government, politics, journalism, dogs, horses, ranching, singing, dancing, Judaism, life. |
Favorite Movies | Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Many, many, many others. My thanks and gratitude to Producers and Directors of films wherever they may be, in Hollywood and elsewhere. |
Favorite Music | The Beatles, Beethoven, and many, many others. I love Jazz of all types, especially "soft" Jazz. I love music - classical, r&b, folk, reggae, hard rock - it all depends on my mood, I love to sing, and do so as often as I can. |
Favorite Books | The ones that I am writing and any that I am currently reading. |
