Large scale system change and quality improvement in health care. Practicing ICU clinically and promoting patient safety in complex medical systems. I am committed to fighting misinformation and disinformation on social media and the internet through my not-for-profit, the Clarity Foundation. In my spare time, I find peace while painting and listening to audiobooks, traveling with my wife, Kate and our dog Star, fitness, psychology/social sciences, armchair physics lover (relativity down to quantum mechanics).

Social Entrepreneurship. There is too much of a defined line between charities which are poorly needed by the community , but can't sustain their model AND successful corporate enterprises that feel a yearly donation to a charity is the limit of their social responsibilities.

...connecting to people, and unlocking deeper knowledge within. I am passionate about being in service to the future generations, while holding and acting in the complexity of the present, and acknowledging past wrong doings and embedding ancient knowledge: we have to move forward, boldly and urgently, but with care and wisdom. I am passionate about being a human being, and doing better. I'm passionate about orang-utans and all species, their rights to exist and their intrinsic value. I am passionate about embodied living and synchronicity.

- my work and my team - my family and their future - food of all kinds - a bit of a foodie! - event planning and the details that coincide - organization and process - trying new things - traveling to new places
