Working to redefine the Future of Work. Former Vice-President at Hitachi, Automattician, Microsoft Director and IBMer. Lover of Mizzou Sports and author of Knights of Legend, the Dark Harp, and the soon to be released Day Life Breaks. I believe in the concept of the American Dream, spending time with children is important, baseball is the National Pastime, and that telling stories remains an important part of our culture.
