I am the Co-Founder of Barnana, -Purveyors of organic Bananas. Previously I manage the finance strategy for a cloud based transaction, membership and communication company called events.com. My work is my love, and I've been fortunate to surround myself with individuals of high integrity, values, and beliefs. An integral part of my life is personal development, from books, tapes, lectures, conferences; I'm continually seeking new information to improve myself and my surroundings. I live in the now, but dream about tomorrow. As we progress into the 21st century, technology will continue to take on an ever increasing role in our lives. We are entering an era of abundance from resources and information, to medicine and communication, the rate of change is exponential and it will foster new industries, opportunities and adventures. I frequently speak at conferences, and workshops about the challenges and opportunities, students and businesses will face, and how to navigate the uncharted waters of living in a world of free, on-demand information.
