Our Sponsor, Peter Simon
A warm welcome to our well known sponsor, Peter Simon, a nationally acclaimed photographer, photojournalist, author, music historian, and instructor, who's sister happens to be Carly Simon. Peter, through his talents, is capturing the imagery and story of a silent epidemic, which is affecting nearly 30% of the world population. It is by no accident that Peter landed with us here. Fate brought him here with a job to do, a job that is truly Peter's specialty. He has personally suffered for over 10 years from a condition caused by taking too many antibiotics, known as systemic candida. Read More about Peter
