I have lived and worked in China for over ten years, competing within their system, making my way as everything from a freelance artist in small operations to a senior designer for large corporations. I have witnessed a formidable decade in which China has commanded a modern presence on the world stage. I have participated in the planning, designing, and building of mega-theme parks in Beijing, world-class aquariums in Shanghai, gigantic malls in the Pearl Delta, resorts in Tibet, and panda relocation projects in the foothills of the Himalayas. I have written a book about it. The Tragic Kingdom or; Prisoner in a Chinese Theme Park, (found on most book dealer websites; Amazon, Barnes and Noble etc), is a behind-the-scenes look into the field of design and build in China. The book is a profile of the personalities, culture, and psychology of the worlds most massive looming superpower as seen through the eyes of an ex-pat American. The true stories and themes found in The Tragic Kingdom, spring from one mans journey. At the same time they disclose truths about a globalization that eventually will impact every economy, lifestyle, and person on the planet.
