Look until you see
My favorite phrase is, “Look until you see.”
It applies to many areas of my life — both personal and professional.
Heartfelt Compassion
I have filmed several humanitarian projects. The first was about orphans in Uganda, the latest about rescuing girls from prostitution and trafficking in Brazil.
Humanity and Love
I have learned that if you look clearly, with empathy and understanding, you can discover the threads that tie us all together — our humanity and our love.
I’m a child at heart
I am decidedly optimistic, a dreamer of big things, and I still play volleyball, baseball and have bowled two perfect games.
They all call me “Poppy”
I am married to a beautiful and very talented hairstylist (Catherine) and have 6 children and 5 grandchildren.
The Enthusiast
On the Enneagram test I am a definite 7 (The Busy, Fun-Loving Type: Spontaneous, Versatile, Distractible, and Scattered)
