My identical cousin, Amy Miller, star of stage and screen, says we're "cultural creatives" which helps to explain why most of my family still wonder what I'm going to be when I grow up. I've been know as a "think outside the box" person from an early age. My Halloween costumes included being a house, a light bulb and the love child of Max Headroom and Tina Turner (named Max HeadTurner). So nobody was surprised when I left college to perform at Disney's EPCOT Center with my fledgling theater troupe, Sak Theatre, or when I became an Imagineer with Disney and subsequently designed theme parks from Germany to Taiwan.

With fellow Saktor and Imagineer, C. McNair Wilson, I created a workshop to demystify the process of creative collaboration which we dubbed Imaginuity. McNair still travels the globe training everyone from youth ministers to corporate boards to release their creative energies. Get more information on Imaginuity at McNairWilson.com. If you book him tell him I sent you (so I get my cut).

I'm still passionate about creativity as a human birthright and as the most important natural resource necessary to address the challenges we face in life.
