Human empowerment from microfinance to exponential impacts driven by the likes of XPrize. Aviation, fitness, exploration, and music, current events, and problem solving.

I am currently working on a way to make a radical impact on the homelessness crisis in California. It's simply unacceptable. We're obviously not doing something right. I've spent the pandemic doing a deep dive into the situation and have partnered with other passionate CEOs and business leaders to reimagine homelessness solutions at scale.

Ending homelessness. In such a wealthy country as the United States, it is simply unacceptable to allow this humanitarian crisis to continue on our streets. I'm doing something about it!

I love teaching students how to organize a speech, create a visual presentation, and integrate their personality into a public presentation. I also love teaching college age students in my Communication in Human Interactions class. They come to my class with their lifetime of communication experience, then learn skills to improve their interactions. It's fun to hear how they implement the concepts from our textbook and discussions into their lives. I love hiking, kayaking, traveling, and music!

Telling stories that have soul.

Books, Sherlock Holmes, the Beatles, sci-fi and fantasy, introversion, translating, traveling the world

Preparing humanity for accelerating technological change and the wondrous future ahead of us.
