His goals are simple:
To inspire and entertain each and every student, no exception!
To show a life devoted to storytelling by telling a story of a life.
To rethink the process of writing: respect for one’s own ideas, practice, follow-through, the importance of editorial criticism.
To put human face on the mystifying process of professional writing.
To use humor and student involvement in order to reach the hearts and minds of the next generation’s readers, thinkers, and communicators.
He has been invited by the White House to represent the United States in the first Russian Book Festival in 2003.
He graduated from Harvard with a degree in biochemistry and afterwards he became an actor on Broadway before he devoted himself to writing.
He has run a marathon and gone rock climbing during an earthquake.
Lastly, he loves chocolate.
