A little about yourself...: Became a single parent when my wife died six weeks after our baby girl was born. Gave her to my in-laws when Rachael was about 3 months and visited her every single weekend, often picking her up and spending the weekend at my place.
i did not have any family support network. Relationship with my in-laws was barely civil. They blamed me for their daughter's death.
Raised Rachael, or better said, Rachael and I grew up together from the time she was 2 1/2 years until graduating high school. She is now 39 with 2 children - I remarried and have a 16 year old son and an 11 year old daughter. I went from being a hippie, to hippie college student, college grad working, to mainstream work in the ad field. Although I realized then and now that I really gave up what could have been a super spectacular career because of my parental responsibilities, I have not a single regret nor any remorse. What I did received is priceless, something unattainable with any job.

Nice to see you in our Community!! You have to know that you were my first mentor in my career -- even though you road me hard, you gave me a great foundation in the future of my career.

Now you've met my partner Bradi through email...little did she know that you were my career inspiration at a very young age (I think 22-30). Thanks for sharing all of your ideas and I'm looking forward to hearing more on Rachael's documentary.
