knowledge of creative thinking and organizational change processes has given him some very unique and
powerful techniques to help organizations create futures they never thought possible. He totally enjoys
sharing these with people and is sometimes referred to as an "affordable Tom Peters" by those who hear

children are following their careers in Massachusetts and California. When not speaking and writing you
can usually find him shopping for new jazz and classical CD's, playing racquetball, reading, gardening, or
playing with his 7 year old Golden Retriever, Molly.
