Carolyn Treanor

back to team

CEO Sunflower Circle Productions,  states that she has what some may say is a personality “disorder”called determination, this trait is not evident in everyone.... and is missing in most people... she thinks it may be a genetic disorder handed down on the paternal side of her family.

Carolyn has a hard time containing her excitement and enthusiasm about any project in which she is involved and says that patience is her shortcoming...she is continually  working on it.

...adventurous, energetic, passionate and ambitious is the best description of Carolyn. She enjoys life, the outdoors, traveling, photography and making movies....once owned a pig farm in Tennessee, built one of the first underground houses there, was a licensed wastewater operator...studied Lions in Kenya, taught Bible school on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona, traveled and camped extensively in the US on the “blue roads” and currently lives on top of a mountain at Lake Tahoe

...favorite quote:  “Do or do not, there is no try”  Yoda, Star Wars

...two people in literature that shaped her life; Richard Halliburton and Scarlet O’Hara.  Halliburton gave her the desire to travel and Scarlet let her know that there was nothing that she could not do, nothing that she could not have and no obstacle that could not be overcome.  Scarlet also taught her that if she could not deal with it today, then “Fiddle Dee Dee”, think about it tomorrow. Carolyn cannot think of anything she does not like.

Alongside Gerry Max she has conducted seminars on Richard Halliburton and the history of travel narrative at Bjorklunden, Lawrence University's  summer seminar retreat in Bailey's Harbor, Wisconsin. “The Scholar and The Storyteller”. In February 2010, the Sea Dragon 2 Project was a feature exhibit at the Treasure Island History Day celebration in San Francisco. Carolyn encourages schools, colleges, clubs and organizations to promote education through adventure.
