About
I’m a philosopher and researcher by training involved in business and technology by vocation.
I spent years teaching and in grad school racking up degrees (including the PhD) to develop my skills in the former. To get experience in the latter, I’ve worked for years in the startup, consulting, and corporate world.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to interact with some of the most brilliant thinkers in the world. The greatest of these all share one trait.
They don't notice or care how great everyone else thinks they are. They simply continue to work, year after year.
To be better, do more, and live well.
The focus of my thoughts, writing, and work can ultimately be traced to the pursuit of those three things.
