Biography

I am a futurist, a technology product creator, a writer, a strategic planner, an evangelist, an internet strategist, a marketer, an organizer, a philosopher, a researcher, a believer, an instigator, an artist, a creator, a performer, a race car driver and a human. I create and sometimes drink the kool-aid. I'm constantly pushing my own limits and often those around me. I live in the place where chaos becomes order - which looks exactly like chaos to the untrained eye.

Look for your own. Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.

– André Gide, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature

We must not be afraid of dreaming the seemingly impossible if we want the seemingly impossible to become a reality.

The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

– Arthur C. Clarke, Writer, Inventor and Futurist
