Inventor, Futurist, and Entrepreneur
Even as a young child I've always wanted to be an inventor so that I can contribute to the world and make it a better place. Since then I have been able to do just that by taking new emerging technologies and creating mass market products and services. Below are just a few of the things I have done in my quest for knowledege, understanding, and compassion for my fellow human beings and the world we all live in.
