Persuasive Information

About Me

I entered the U.S. diplomatic service after growing up in California. Early overseas travel to Austria, Germany, and Japan gave me a lifelong interest in global events. Looking at World War II from the perspective of a U.S. citizen was different from the perspective on that experience voiced by a German or a Japanese person, for example. I learned to respect a  variety of perspectives, including my own.

Persuasive Information began in 2000. This is a sole proprietorship registered in Maryland.

My educational qualifications include public high school in California, Stanford University degree in history, Waseda University coursework in Japanese language and literature, George Washington University Graduate School of Education and Human Development degree in Secondary Education.

My work experience includes 27 years of public service for the United States of America. I served in Washington, D.C., in Stuttgart, Germany, in Tokyo, Japan, in New Delhi, India, and in Tel Aviv, Israel.

In addition to extensive business consulting and economic advocacy, I did consular work and a range of public advocacy and communications throughout my career.
