Colleagues would say that I have an innate ability to see multiple possibilities for any one given situation and a ‘bigger picture’ understanding of where technology is headed.  I am often referred to as a futurist though I think the term is somewhat dated.

My goal is to be an owner of an innovative, dynamic and forward thinking new media company whose projects set standards from which others follow; a company that strives to inform, to interpret, to stimulate thought and to promote understanding and the interchange of ideas.
