My time with Francesco (Frankie) began when we were small children. I was 8, Frankie was 6. We met in Brewster, a small country village about 50 miles north of New York City.  I was from the South Bronx, Frankie was from Spanish Harlem.

Our fathers had decided to “get out of the city” and each bought property in the country to raise their kids on. Since that time we’ve been through a lot together, including performing, having kids, getting our doctorates in psychology, and working with thousands of people. 

Frankie had a big heart and if there was one constant throughout the years, it was the persistent encouragement he generously gave to the people who met him.

Personal freedom was the theme we shared in our work with people.  It still is.
