He attended Semester at Sea and London's City College, graduating from Tulane University, and later attending Tulane's A.B. Freeman School of Business's graduate MBA program. Davlin was a former war correspondent in the 1990s Yugoslavian conflict, a professional mountaineer, spelunker, and a PADI professional Divemaster with expertise in cave and sunken wreck penetrations. He worked in the oilfield sector and in structured and international finance. He turned around the largest American manufacturer of high-end decorative goods, after which the policies of then-president Clinton forced him to offshore his factories to China. He lived in Hong Kong and Communist China in various periods throughout the past 30 years. Davlin became a Hollywood studio screenwriter, penning such films as the Jackie Chan blockbuster Medallion for Sony, Columbia & TriStar Pictures. He wrote the international best-selling novel Memory published by The Berkley Imprint of The Penguin Group and translated in multiple languages by Sony Books, Blanvalet, and Random House. He has been a keynote speaker at The Tennessee Williams Festival and a guest lecturer at NYU and other universities. Davlin wrote, produced, and directed the adaptation of Memory into a feature film, theatrically released worldwide by Warner Bros. and EBE. In television, Bennett and his TV producing partner, Randy Douthit, co-creator of CNN's Crossfire and Judge Judy, work on projects under a first-look deal with CBS Paramount. He is also a 2020 non-treasonous Democrat candidate for U.S. president and a government policy thinker, political, social, economic, and philosophical essayist at his site centeredamerica.com.vizualizați mai puține
