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 part of an innovative and dynamic new media company that sets 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.
