Overview
Like most folks, I wear many hats. Consider this page the hat rack.
The Music Hat
I’ve been playing and learning about music for over 30 years. Music is my meditation, my connection with the vibration of the Universe. I love to play, and do so occasionally professionally. Almost equally, I enjoy facilitating the connection for others, either as a participant or observer. Music is an art form that affects the brain (and the spirit, in my opinion) like no other.
Bertland is my personal music site with upcoming appearances, audio and video and occasional observations.
I host the Feed Your Love Open Mic on the third Wednesday of every month with my co-host Don Boivin at Cape Cup on Main Street in Orleans.
I am also an associate of the board of directors for the Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival, which brings small classical groups to Cape Cod audiences.
The Whole Foods Hat
I grew up chubby (still have issues with chubby) on the Standard American Diet of the 1960s and ‘70s. In 1980 I was introduced to macrobiotics and my paradigm of food was changed forever. My journey has had tall peaks and desolate valleys, but in the process I have gained a fair amount of knowledge and become a respected whole foods chef. Owning a vegetarian restaurant in the mid-to-late ‘80s didn’t hurt. Despite my own challenges with food I am sharing the knowledge, perspective and experience.
Cape Cod Locavore is my blog about local food, whole foods cooking and our relationship with food.
I am also available for consultations on integrating whole foods into a sustainable lifestyle and whole foods cooking instruction.
The Media/Technologist Hat
My professional career since 1991 has been in technology and internet media. I’ve been developing media presentations and web sites since 1995. Now I consult with companies large and small to develop effective interactive media strategies, and then assemble the team to execute.
Koa Media is my web design/consulting firm.
I’m on the board of directors for the Cape Cod Technology Council, working to build, unite and promote the technology sector on Cape Cod.
And you will so be my friend if you do not ask me to help with your computer. Though I can refer you to the right people who can!
