Mr. Hosch majored in journalism and wrote a regular column for his college newspaper, but got kicked out shortly before graduation. He drove out to San Francisco in 1969 to catch the last dregs of the Hippie Revolution and in his new e-memoir, JERSEY GOES WEST, he describes Grateful Dead concerts at the Fillmore, his disappointment with Woodstock, getting busted in Haight Ashbury, and how he saw a man get killed at the Stone's ill-fated Altamont concert. After abandoning the drug scene for yoga in 1970, he toured the U.S. with an Indian swami, then spent a year studying with a guru in India. In 1975, Mr. Hosch graduated from Philadelphia College of Arts. On his second trip to India, he went underground during Indira Gandhi's martial law and climbed the Himalayas in search of a mysterious yogi as detailed in his first e-book memoir, UNDERCOVER IN INDIA. In 1976, Mr. Hosch moved to Hawaii and worked as an artist in the International Marketplace. He spent five years teaching copywriting and design at the University of Hawaii and another six years teaching at the Honolulu Academy of Art. His painting was featured in the Academy Award winning film, "The Descendants," starring George Clooney. He moved to Southern Florida in 2009.view less
