His primary work over the last decade has been as support group leader for two Plowshares groups, the Transform Now Plowshares and the Kings Bay Plowshares, as they faced trial and prison following their disarmament actions in 2012 and 2018. He was also part of one such nonviolent resistance action, the Pershing Plowshares, in 1984 in Orlando FL and served 20 months in Federal prison as a result.
He is the father of two adult daughters who have outgrown the need to listen to him, but sometimes do anyway.
