Bio
Vision, Creativity, Execution... Beyond Ideas. A life of adventure and exploration, a career spanning publishing, venture capital, and construction, non-profit and education, now into the realm of making visions a reality.

I'm passionate about
Sustainability in the arenas of environment, agriculture, and energy.
An idea worth spreading
Listening is a powerful tool; how to listen better, understand better, communicate better, and amplify the messages you hear to the benefit of the speaker and yourself.
The TED story
Goes back to 2010 an introduction to Mark Sylvester and TEDx Santa Barbara. Fascination with the speakers, topics, and impact these presentations made then and continue to make today. Glad to offer my help then and now in making the story grow.
