I speak on a wide variety of subjects to very diverse groups. Having been on TV (3rd Rock from the Sun, Grace Under Fire, the Young and the Restless) and radio (I'm a frequent guest on Around the World Radio, and The Big Blend, as well as a former host of my own show), I'm comfortable in front of any group. Subjects include water, food and wine, travel writing and more.
