My passion is the invention of new technologies.
I have been developing and selling software since 1983.
Origins:
I am self-trained in software engineering, which I have taught in college. During my time at Stuyvesant High School in NYC, my writing and photography were published nationally. I have also earned money as a print shop manager, amateur auto racer, and competitive pool player. I held a ladder ranking at StarCraft for over a year, but never found a way to monetize that luxury. I hold a BA in Electronic Music and Classical Composition from Bennington College, and an Executive MBA from the IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Affiliations:
My memberships include the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship, NFTE, where I help inner-city youth to develop business plans; YEO (1999-2002), a young entrepreneurs peer group; Carnegie Hall, where I am a ‘notable’ patron; The Morgan Library, where I am a ‘young associate’, The Electronic Music Foundation, where I am a founding patron, Sugarbush Soaring, where I fly sailplanes; The Aspen Institute, its group of young thinkers, the Socrates Society; and I am a 10x attendee of the invitation-only TED Conferences, which bring together the great innovators of technology, entertainment, and design.
Fantasies:
Some day I will learn to work less than 80 hours in a week. I like gardening and working outdoors in the shade of my trees — eventually I’ll buy a little stone house in the back forests of Vermont. It would be wonderful to see individual entrepreneurs push WalMart and McDonald’s out of business. If I ever think I’m smart enough to deserve the privilege, I’d like to volunteer my time as a teacher.
