I have been working as an independent documentary filmmaker for 30 years. My work has been broadcast on PBS, The Sundance Channel, MTV, Discovery Channel, A&E and ESPN as well as numerous foreign broadcast outlets. For the past six years I have been focusing on environmental stories about grassroots activists around the world with a focus on Africa and South America. Those stories are shown on PBS on my series "Global Focus: The New Environmentalists" for which I recently won a regional Emmy Award.
