At the core, a storyteller, an engineer, and a filmmaker (who must be a storyteller AND engineer). Overall an educator, and all of those other roles play a part.

I get to live an amazing life, surrounded by talented people and by passionate learners.

I'm out to raise and educate the race of spacefaring humans. This explains my passion for training learners in technology and science. I was raised myself on the writings of people like Isaac Asimov, Spider Robinson, David Brin, and Lois McMaster Bujold.

Now it's my turn to repay the contribution they made to my life.
