My passion is building our future and taking a science-inspired look at what we can do now. The next 200 years will be critical for humanity’s development, but if we open our eyes to the risks, I am optimistic that we will be up to the challenges. Towards that end, I am starting to write down my insights—possibly in preparation for a book. In the meantime, this webpage will be updated periodically to share information. Feel free to connect with me on social media:

Everyone yearns to make a difference, but our nonstop activities can get in the way. When was the last time you paused to reflect on the long-term? Perhaps, by intentionally making time to catch our breath, we can expand our perspective and discover a meaningful purpose that gives us value and hope. As a long-term thinker, my goal is to encourage people to become engaged and explore the many underappreciated ways in which the future depends on us.
