Husband, father, photographer, technologist, and life-long learner. I've been on a long journey of discovery, which is clearly infinite. I've been inspired by my family, my friends, my colleagues, and by the various events in my life. I suppose it was starting my study of the martial arts at 35 that really began my adulthood. Learning about learning, discovering patience and humility (neither of which comes naturally), and finding myself as a teacher all stem from that experience in martial arts. Surviving a heart attack at 44 also served as a turning point and catalyst.

Along the way, I've founded and run companies, been an executive of various kinds, held every role you can hold in a software development organization, become an Agile Software Development coach and teacher, an Open Space Technology facilitator, a professional motivational speaker, a business and technology consultant, and a business and personal coach.

Life is an adventure, and I find glory in the discoveries that come my way each day.
