I'm 45 years old, and currently reside in Burlington , Vermont and part time in Manchester ,Vermont. I have had the opportunity to sell digital and print advertising for publications, and also worked on the ad agency side. The experience with the agency gave me useful insight on the creative side of the business. My professional career first started with a custom software house.This gave me the experience to understand the business software market. I also acquired experience in logistics management while working for a private 100 million dollar+ company. In addition to my job experience I have led major economic development initiatives, while serving on city public policy committees. While serving on the board of directors for a fifty year old art center, I raised more funds then any other board members during my tenure. Also during my time on this board, I developed an art exhibit that is still remembered as the organization's most popular art exhibit to this day. All of these ventures have given me experience in project planning and project management. These acquired skills can be applied to any venture i'm involved with.

Creativity , conflict resolution , and the State of Vermont's conversion into a high tech hub. I crave being involved in economic development initiatives that benefit our community.

An idea worth spreading is that Psychology has suffered from the lack of a clear conceptual language with the consequence of loss of relevance and effectiveness. Dynamic emotions based on analytic approaches have been abandoned in favor of medical models, and the study of brain chemistry to manage behavior. Creativity addresses this deficiency by introducing conceptual clarity of the nature of the unconscious as an emotional operational system that has structure and direction, periodicity and meanings. The task of the mind is adaptational growth in all fields and industries.

My TED story is quite simple , my mission is bringing people together to prompt dialogue that will change their community , and hopefully change the world.

Bringing pertinent people together behind the scenes. Big things will happen and people did not even know I was involved.
