I have worked in science and startups for over 20 years. This is just part of my work and studies. 

With a goal of pursuing scholarly work, I also spend my time studying and writing about many other topics, sometimes this is work that could be published on topics like AI, the nature of matter, or advanced topics and other times it is just insights from living life and choosing to pursue challenging projects that require full dedication. 

I write early every morning and share it only with those who are close to me. I have been asked by several people in my life now (on multiple occasions) to share my work more broadly. I recognize and believe in the old saying that there is nothing is new under the sun. So, I have come to believe that the world does not need or require what I write. Because of this belief I have become author who does not publish. 

What changed my mind is the many discussions with friends and family to write even if it has been written about before. And that even if it has been said before, there are some things in life that need repeating.  

So, this website is the result of that. It was created to share my work (the science and startups stuff), but also the other work in my life: history, philosophy, music, and more. 

Thanks for joining my journey and I hope something I have gone through or learned could be of use to you.
