About
My interest in political science and foreign policy began at the University of Chicago. Although my business pursuits led me along many paths, including manufacturing management, international strategy consulting and launching a company, my interest in politics, history and foreign policy formulation has always been a key component of who I am. I have reached a place in my career where I can focus my energies in researching, lecturing and writing about these important subjects.
I love lecturing, I love facilitating group discussions and I love writing and editing my political / foreign policy newsletter "The View From My Balcony".
My first novel - "Busville" - was published on Amazon in July 2020. The next page of my website talks about the plot and contains an ordering link.
My wife Carol and I live in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.
The goals of my work are to make people challenge their own assumptions and help people understand that only by admitting they may be wrong will they truly listen to opposed opinions. The person who disagrees with us helps us and makes us better.
