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. :)

The primary principle of innovation is this. It is being able to consider and change our ‘notions’; our so-called facts of our experiences; our factual claims; into something new that goes beyond our own individual reality. The statement of this work is at the foundation of collaboration and discovery. He speaks of science and the [...]

A Practical Theory On Leadership – ‘The Shirtless Dancing Guy’

Vic’s Supplements Plan For Wellness … and Sustainability
Our wellness influences what we create as human beings and how it either supports or depletes the world’s complex ecology of life – a planetary well being, so to speak. Our individuality is made up of a physical body, mind(fulness) and thoughts, emotions and attitude, and spiritual connection with something greater than us. The interactions [...]
