My life and work is focused on the singular mission of reconciling human enmity from within, through my organization Perspective Depth. Currently in the US, I’ve spent most of the last decade in India.
I’m dedicated to uncovering the deepest Truth within myself and share with others through meditation and self-reflection. Aided by Scripture, journaling, mapping, research and dialog with people of diverse backgrounds and traditions, I’ve been cultivating a robust life perspective over the course of my life. I try my best to live by the principle of loving God|Good with all my heart, and loving our enemies|adversaries as ourselves (reference).
Human trauma runs very deep inside me, as I feel our human conflicts very strongly from all angles. I also have struggled much in life, which has helped me cultivate a more profound humility. My heart especially connects with those who’ve been through war, violent conflict and jarring life traumas.
My commitment to self-reflection is the only real value I offer. Though I’ll share a more traditional bio below, to provide a bit of context. I got my degree in Psychology from Johns Hopkins University, extending my studies through additional coursework and research. I’ve got involved with meditation soon afterwards, finding that true insight comes from within.
Much of my subsequent career was as a Tech Consultant, including through the Fund for the City of New York, working with dozens of non-profit organizations, helping define robust information workflows. I also founded an XML based initiative called HumanMarkup to represent in data form implicit human characteristics.
I spent time in India in the 2010s, where I worked on projects including founding the first Peer Group at T-Hub, India’s largest startup incubator. Additionally I’ve worked with orgs and colleges including Symbiosis, ICFAI, St. Ann’s, Ictect, IETO, and Appstek to help bring a broader perspective to their environment.
Currently I’m involved in programs through both the SBA/SBDC and the University for Peace to further establish my foundation. I’m currently on the Oregon Coast, regrouping my efforts for the coming days. All my life experiences and knowledge, good and bad, painful and pleasant, serve to inform my life work. Please get in touch if I can be of service to you. My best.
