For most of my life, I’ve followed a guiding principle from Confucius:
“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.”

Together, wife Linda and I have enjoyed the cultures of the world, especially its people, who often overturned dictatorships.

We’ve enjoyed places where political freedom was celebrated—and places where dictatorship cast a long shadow over everyday life. That experience gives me a deep, unshaken perspective on what America is going through today.

I started out as a business writer and editor, before diving into the fascinating, brutal, high-stakes world of politics. Now, with American Pulse, I bring you unfiltered analysis, sharp reporting, and the hard truths—free from outside influence, free from agendas.

Vancouver is a vibrant melting pot where diverse cultures harmonize against a stunning Pacific backdrop. The city buzzes with creativity and innovation—its art-filled enclaves, world-renowned food markets, and lively festivals reflect a rich tapestry of traditions and modernity. This blend of nature, urban energy, and multicultural heritage makes Vancouver a truly inspiring place to live and experience.
