I am a futurist who loves that the world is now beginning to catch up with me—and thus I am in a multi-year transition from visionary to entrepreneur.

I am in the process of launching a start-up, LifeSpace, that will leverage local social connectedness towards sustainability and financial betterment for communities. I am also Executive Director at the Green Century Institute (www.greencenturyinstitute.org) and oversee a number of different institute projects there. I am particularly fascinated by GCI's initiative to launch a 10,000 person Bay Area Eco-City by 2015—and am doing some conceptual design and research on this.

But I also love to be simple: to play, be goofy, create, think thoughts. I love people that don't fit any of the categories—people living the integrated life in bafflingly unique ways. I love people that can span the gap from dreamer to utter pragmatist. I love startling abilities…

As an artist, I am fascinated by the future of circus arts and have been working on a proposal to Cirque du Soleil  outlining the next generation of circus.

I am always writing, including thousands of pages in my journals. Current projects include a philosophical treatise, a novel, a play, and an ongoing flow of poetry. All are still incomplete.

My cognitive fascinations: integral cosmological modelling (check out http://www.mandapa.org), metalogical cognition, the global organism, esoteric systems as information retrieval systems, and the future.

I love food and wine. Adventuring in far away places. Hot air balloons. Ultra-lights. Green green nature in all her glories.
