This page is periodically updated both for my own benefit and to let the curious soul who comes by know what I am involved with and working on these days. Derek Sivers inspired the idea, and the Now Now Now site is a rather interesting and diverse database of others around the world who’ve created such a page.

In early 2024, I connected again with some old friends, and fellow musicians — brothers from another mother really — with whom I was a partner decades ago in a recording studio and media production company based out of the Okanagan, in BC, Canada. First up, we are developing and producing an independent feature film called Butterfly and the Bee, a romantic comedy featuring a symphony of original music.
At the same time, Vlad Forgac and myself, also partners in the production company above, have founded 4Mation Productions, Inc., for the development and production of a sci-fi adventure animated series called 4Mation Academy. It’s a huge, complex undertaking, but I’m curious and excited to see what will emerge in the coming months and years.
I started the Sapientia newsletter on Substack, which features weekly updates with new articles and/or a few posts from the past, links to my music, and offerings from others I found interesting or thought provoking.
In the last few months of 2024, I worked hard to update, revise, and polish my oldest “journal” writings, and in January, 2025, I published my first book, The Reluctant Pilgrim, Vol I: Ashes and Ascent.
I will also be moving forward with the next volume, as well as putting together and publishing some photography books.
Regarding music, I have been working with some of the music to be featured in the film mentioned above. I’ve always enjoyed producing remixes and look forward to being part of the team that will produce a world-class record featuring the music of that original soundtrack. I am chipping away at my own records as well, and have several in the works that just need a little time and attention so I can release them into the world…
