Our Story

Dead Poets Foundation was founded in 2019 by Nicola Carpinelli – renowned artist, entrepreneur, and humanitarian; and Dr. Howard Asher – one of the nation’s leading trauma specialists, author, and lecturer. 


These two created and presented their first Dead Poets Exhibit in Bend, Oregon. Bend is a beautiful idyllic community where ironically and tragically it suffers one of the highest rates of suicide in the country. The exhibit was attended by a crowd that overflowed the venue. The many who couldn’t be inside were able to view the event from television monitors that were provided outside in anticipation of the huge interest and response that was generated by media promotion. The event was an overwhelming success. 


Nicola, and “Dr. Howard” knew they had delivered something special in this event – it was something beyond what most suicide awareness organizations do – they connected. They were able to get front press coverage across the full spectrum of media outlets.
