The TED story

With my wife and three children, we choose to view our family as a team charged with making positive change. Three of the five of us (myself, wife and middle child) come to TEDActive 2014 together. My son, William, is a street artist, student of design, entrepreneur and photographer. My wife, Betsy, is a dynamic leader at the University of Michigan's Center for Positive Organizations and a visionary project maven. They are both marvels. We look forward sharing our interests, experiencing unexpected revelations and meeting some of the most interesting personalities on the planet!
