My special interest is the democratizing effects of new media.</p> <p>Academically, I earned a dual BA in journalism and communication from the University Without Walls at Regis Loretto Heights College. I researched public and organizational communication theories through the Individualized MA program at Antioch University.</p> <p style="margin-left: 30px;">In Spring 2011, as I'm settling into a new life with my new wife on Kauai in Hawaii, I was thinking that I'm finally done with the book, <em>Global Sense.</em> I  can move on to other projects. Then I started getting intimations that the book was not done with me. I heard Thomas Paine quoted often in the media. People said things that sparked insights on how to make the book much more practical. News headlines told me the world needs global thinking now more than ever. The book then reappeared in my dreams. Thoughts of revising the text would not leave me alone.</p> <p style="margin-left: 30px;">On July 4, 2011, trusting my intuition, I began rewriting this book from scratch. I kept some sections, but little of the original text survived. Feeling pressured from within, I spent all of my free time at my computer, praying for the best words to flow through me. Often I awoke from sleep with whole passages in my mind waiting to be transcribed. <em>My hardest task was getting my ego to step aside so Spirit could use me to help global thinking go global -- to help us all generate a quantum social shift in our world.</em> Six months later, the revision was done.</p> <p>Please be aware that I have full-time employment as an educator, which covers my cost of living here in Hawaii. So, I neither need nor want your backing to "fund my life." Whatever you contribute goes solely into my publishing business, Hoku House, specifically for<em> Global Sense</em> book printing and distribution.</p>
