I served as an education advisor in Sarawak, a Malaysian state on the island of Borneo. I then worked as a filmmaker, creative director of an advertising agency, and as a freelance journalist in Singapore and Indonesia, living 13 years in Southeast Asia. I now write, and advise international NGOs on fundraising and communications. I travel extensively and have worked in some fifty countries. More recently I have written on Asian sacred groves and holy forests, with particular emphasis on how nature conservationists would be well-advised to investigate how traditional conservation methods are still powerful forces for conservation.
Soul is about the relationship between people and wildlife in Southeast Asia.
