Interests
I am a change agent at heart. My interests often relate to the relationships between inspiration, innovation, and invention relative to the evolution of human consciousness. I am intrigued with how transformation, transmutation, and transfiguration happens through practicing collaborative design, collective change, and the idea of technology being a sacred extension of ourselves. ... My philosophies may be a bit 'out there', but I also love a good game of golf, tennis, sand volleyball, or a hike in the woods. :)
