 Welcome!
I'm a Washington, DC-based,
early-retired corporate executive. I
have lived in Taiwan, China and Hong
Kong as well as Boston, Chicago and
Princeton, New Jersey before settling in
Washington. I've got a broad array of
interests, and I've chosen to highlight
several of them on this site:
 Writing.
I've written several books on
communicating and dealing with the
Chinese and on the Mandarin dialect.
More recently, I've produced a couple of
biographies of 19th century
Chinese-American figures and even a
Chinese cookbook!
 Websites.
I've created a couple of dozen
Internet sites and love to marry
text, graphics and computer effects
to communicate about something. I
specialize in personal sites and
sites for small businesses, co-ops
and condominiums and not-for-profit
organizations.
 Genealogy.
This has been a 20-year
hobby, and I've had lots of success
finding ancestors and far-flung
relatives. If you're a Seligman,
Zeligman, Zelikman, Rudbart,
Sternreich, Milsky, Liebman,
Loveman, Abrams, Abrahams or
Ambrose, contact me to see if we are
related!
 China.
I started studying Mandarin in 1973,
and all told spent eight years in
China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. My
principal interest in the China
field has centered on cross-cultural
communication and bridging cultural
differences. I have also done some
writing about the Chinese language.
 Resumé.
A long career preceded early
retirement in 2008. I've worked as
an assistant to a member of
Congress, lobbied the Chinese
government on behalf of American
business, managed a multinational PR
agency in China and directed
communications for a Fortune 50
company.
