For our honeymoon, my wife and I traveled to Mexico. While we were there, we got to visit some of the phenomenal Mayan ruins, outside of which, are locals selling their products. At one such place, a local man came up to us with a hand-carved piece of wood. I wasn’t really shopping, but it […]

How many books have you written? It’s ok. Embrace YOUR voice.
I am deeply impressed by the number of books a friend has published. Actually, this guy is incredible. He pumps out at least one book per year and is having a blast doing it. Not only do I admire him, but I admire the impact he’s having and the platform that these books give him! […]
Getting More Done – Introduction
I want to get more done, but I haven’t found a way to create more time. I have my own company with talented people on the team, but they are all busy doing their job. They are too busy to help me realize my other ideas (and our R&D budget isn’t large enough yet). Throughout […]
Honesty…a novel approach
Tonight we were reading about George Mueller with the kids. In the story, George had just shared his calling to start his first orphanage with his church and the book went on to describe the scene.

“Research” Intimidation? An Exercise in Word Selection
When you hear someone talking about research, what do you think about? Does it bring to mind a laboratory with test tubes, beakers, Bunsen burners, and chemicals? How about an academic, spending years reading books tucked away in the library stacks? Or maybe a university professor, running experiments, writing papers, reporting results, and developing theories? […]
Reinvention in Progress!
Thanks for stopping by! I am in the processing of migrating my old, Google Sites based website to WordPress. Until last night, I didn’t realize how much content there was to move…so I’ll be doing this over the next few weeks. It is my sincere hope that this platform makes it easier for us to […]
Educating or Inspiring?
I failed. I reacted, or rather, I responded. But I was far from proactive. As a leader, my job is to cast a vision. This vision must be compelling. It must be exciting. It must paint such a wonderful picture, that any notion of maintaining the status quo would be crazy. The future is the […]
On Laziness
I have a general disdain for laziness. Unfortunately, that’s a rather general statement borne of mental…well…laziness. I suppose I could have picked a better word. On the other hand, this article isn’t exactly compulsory. Remember when you were a kid and would walk all over the house looking for your mom to ask her to […]
