Love Wins – what I have learned from my family
Elizabeth has been the most influential person in my life and a source of strength and hope and love. She is serious and funny and reads books aloud to me.
Julia and Steve and Hilda – my oldest daughter – her husband – and their daughter our first grandchild. Two Stand Up Comedians and their happy relational little one live close enough we get to see them weekly.
Siri Loken and Nicky Baker are my younger daughter and her soon to be husband. Physicians the love the outdoors and friends in Utah and soon will be moving to northern California
The Loken clan have been an amazing source of wisdom and encouragement and fun.
Music is in and around me all the time
My life has always been filled with music. Listening , going to concerts, singing in the choir, writing and producing songs, I even had a Music Management company for a few years working primarily with Jazz artists and rock bands. I have played the guitar for 50 years, I have pianos and conga drums and recording equipment. But I love writing songs. And Elizabeth and I love to dance – rumba, swing, cha cha, salsa. To hear and move to good music… we love it.
My paintings grow out of doodles
I painted water colors for several years before we had kids but 15 years ago I found a program for Ipad that allowed me to create digital images anywhere. They started as 15 minute Plane doodles I created to relax flying across the country every month for client meetings. But over time I have let myself just paint and let things come to mind . I love color and finding how to convey the line and depth and shading of things I see. I have about 49,000 pictures on my phone because I love to capture daily beauty.
Making a difference in the world
My background in a religious tradition emphasizes discerning what you are called to do and be. For me that led me to serve in many different ways. I volunteered on several political campaigns in junior high and high school and ushered at the Old Globe Theater. In college I led a volunteer program where we danced with patients at a state Mental Hospital – in fact this is where Elizabeth and I met. In my role as a pastor I chaired a regional committee working to combat hunger. I helped start an organization for people in the entertainment world juggling their faith and ethics and work life, and later helped start NoHo Home Alliance a wonderful non-profit in North Hollywood doing work with people experiencing homelessness that is still going strong. From 2019 until 2025, I served as the President of the Board for the Trauma Resource Institute in Claremont California.
