San Franciscan on exile now on the east, who is passionate about intellectual property strategy and technology.

I am a teacher, an engineer, a father; a hiker, avid reader; and an OK dancer to most music tunes.

I was born and lived in the tropics, attended northeastern US universities; lived and worked in the northeastern, southwestern, and Western United States. Worked from Lehigh Valley, PA to Silicon Valley, CA.

Growing up in Central America during the Cold War turned me into a permanent student of conflict and its resolution: a firm believer in democracy; and dedicated, even thought I no longer live there, to the restoration, one day, of what will become the Federal Republic of Central America.

I believe in the young people of this world; if we trust them, and make them responsible for the outcomes, they will always rise to the occasion and overcome any challenge that may come their way .
