As script writer, director and producer, I've been involved in hundreds of video and television productions for major corporations and organizations. I'm also an experienced broadcast journalist, having served as Middle East Correspondent for CNN during most of the 1980's, and the host of “Jerusalem On Line,” a weekly television program broadcast throughout North and South America, throughout the 1990's. I've reported from across Europe and the US as well as Israel, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq -- and from places as far flung as Papua New Guinea and Antarctica.
