As a “computer guy,” I developed troubleshooting skills. Now I am ready to apply these skills to our troubled world as the Freedom Preacher.

My interest in psychological issues, especially as they relate to human interaction, remained strong and in fact became somewhat of a “subtext” for my technical work. I developed a reputation as a “techie” who somehow still “talked like a normal person,” as one of my clients put it; this was a big help in dealing with people and coming up with ways to solve their problems using technology.

Conflict — large and small, local, regional, or global — has remained at the top of my interest list; as our civilization continues to deteriorate, my desire to apply some of the things I have come to understand has become more urgent than ever.

I have developed a good understanding of many of the reasons people disappoint or mistreat each other, resulting in endless friction and problems. As important as this is, however, what’s even more important is the maddeningly obvious yet largely unanswered question: why do these problems continue? Everyone intuitively understands how to treat others well yet much of the time this is ignored.

My need — maybe “obsession” is more accurate — to understand and, hopefully, to do something about this disconnect between what most of us say we want and the conflict-ridden world we have created has led me to become the Freedom Preacher.

My goal is to help those who are determined to heed my tagline: “Our world is broken. Don’t let it break you.”

I think this is a worthwhile goal. Would you like to join me in my quest to limit the damage done by our broken world?

I look forward to hearing from you!
