I have three passions: education, technology and music. We must learn something everyday to grow - and "growing" is a prerequiste for life; we must investigate, utilize and incorporate technology in our lives in order to prevent it from overtaking our humanity by sheer weight; and we must have music or we are not human. "Attempting" these things can be painful and frustrating. But "doing" them is exhilerating!

The patchwork of my career, my life, and my interests reflects my attempt to live what I believe.
