Get to know me~!

I'm kind of a philosopher/dreamer/schemer type, but with practical chops. I've always figured out how to start with the idea and make it happen vs. pick from what's available. Search vs. browse. Historically, I've been a bit of an independent sort - OK, orthagonal to the box - but I've mellowed. While no less of a free spirit, I find I am no less free when I'm collaborating. Perhaps more so.

For there is nothing like exploring the world with somebody. It's like the world comes to be constituted in the exploring. When I head out into the world on a new adventure, a new project or startup, it's like I'm coming home, just as much as when the outing or adventure winds down and we return home there's a whole world waiting there.

I'm a successful inventor, and now have a startup that's based on using structured data and geo-location to enable people to share in similar activities.

Also doing some writing. I've been getting my pieces published in the Chronicle. Sound recording and editing and photography too.

Ebullient about plants, growing them, and am investigating a new way to desiccate their juice to heal the body through antioxidants.

Composing songs on the guitar, hitting the local hot springs, exploring the world with a focus on my own. Doing yoga.

To put fruit on the table, I founded and recently sold a Web company that focuses on environmental solutions. It was cool to create something and have it live beyond me. Our mission was to green people's homes, and we broke new ground in that area. I'm still a card carrying eco dude, but I keep the card in my pocket.
