“We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can’t think what anybody sees in them,” said our Mr. Baggins, and stuck one thumb behind his braces [suspenders], and blew out another even bigger smoke-ring. Then he took out his morning letters, and began to read, pretending to take no more notice of [Gandalf]. He had decided that he was not quite his sort, and wanted him to go away. But the old man did not move.” — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, 1937.
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.” — Helen Keller, The Open Door, 1902.

I drive change.
In the computing industry, I helped accelerate the adoption of disruptive computing platforms―including object-oriented application frameworks in the 1980's, Windows in the 1990's, .NET in the 2000's, and cloud computing in the 2010's―thereby adding millions of dollars to these platforms' vendors' bottom lines and accelerating the advancement of the state of the art.
Today, I accelerate disruptive change in the rapidly-expanding legal cannabis industry. As VP/Marketing at the Thai Cannabis Corporation, my goal is to establish the Company as the global cannabis industry’s de facto standard for cannabis oils, extracts, and isolates, by making it easier for manufacturers to earn high profits with the Company than with anyone else.
