I'm a mythologist, cultural historian, and author. In my writings I like to take into account the archaeological, philosophical, sociological, and depth psychological aspects of my mythological subject matter. In addition to writing books and articles, I also enjoy giving lectures at scholarly conferences as well as informal talks to other groups that share my interests. I am passionate about deepening my and my audience's understanding of the interrelationship between cultural history, mythology, religion, and depth psychology in a way that will enrich and benefit our society and our own personal knowledge and spirituality. When I'm not pursuing such interesting things, I like to enjoy downhill skiing, running, dancing, films, world travel, cooking, wine, and making wine (I have my own vineyard).
