I’ve spent over twenty years working with scientists and engineers in high technology areas (medicine, telecom, nanotechnology) to bring ideas to the market. I have experience in every phase of product and market development — from raw insight through market research, product development, manufacturing planning, and marketing — including company formation. My current focus areas are rapid medical diagnostics and water purification and desalination, and (eventually) global warming abatement. I speak frequently on how nanotechnology will/can impact product and market development for various industries from healthcare to food to space.

I’m currently writing a Cli-Fi novel about a bold but plausible scenario. I will attempt throughout the book to draw a picture of a realistic future — socially, technologically, environmentally, economically, and politically. “It’s the year 2048 and decades of man-made global warming have devastated America — farmlands and water reservoirs are parched, fish are scarce, cities are often flooded. Insects carrying infectious diseases are everywhere. One brilliant scientist has a solution. But the rich and powerful, immune to the ravages of climate change, like things just the way they are. And they’re willing to kill to keep it that way.”
