  • Add some magic to a public space near you

    Every human has a deep longing for home and a sense of place. But home is not where many people think it is, because home is a feeling­­ – not a location.

The son of an itinerant gospel preacher, David grew up on the fringes with no sense of place. He shares his secrets for helping ordinary citizens add magic and soul to the public spaces in their neighborhood or town center.
