He has worked for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Central China Television, CNBC Asia, and video production houses in Hong Kong and San Francisco.

"My journalism career veered from the usual trajectory of reporting that seeks ever 'bigger' stories, often events that were more violent, or disastrous and controversial. Instead, in mid-career I changed my approach to focus on 'people stories', those activities that give meaning to individual lives; harvesting the backyard pear tree; creating a daycare for 50-year olds stricken with Alzheimer's disease; becoming the world's bes

William Shakespeare The Merchant of Venice

Brom
“I am fearful most men of this age are like you. They have forgotten what it is to huddle in a hut with the beasts and demons howling outside their door. They no longer have want of a great and terrible spirit to protect them. They have lost their fear of the wild and with it their need to believe. And I cannot blame them, for they now have the power to chase away the shadows with a mere flick of a switch. So I must ask myself, what role can I play in a world where men worship the moving-picture box, where they make and consume potions that eat away their own brains, where they ravage and pillage entire mountains, kill the very earth itself? “Mankind has lost its connection to the land, to the earth, to the beasts and spirits. They gather their food not from the forest and fields, but from plastic bins and ice boxes. Their lives are no longer tied to the cycles of the seasons and the harvest, no longer do they need the Yule Lord to chase away the winter darkness and usher in the light of spring. Man has only himself to fear now . . . he has become his own worst devil.”
Brom, Krampus: The Yule Lord
