This blog is my effort at an intentional and disciplined spiritual practice of being grateful, recognizing the gifts that life brings, gifts that are often overlooked in the busy-ness of every day.
About me
I live with my family in Nashua, New Hampshire, where we’ve resided for 12 years.
Professionally, I work in high-tech marketing in a somewhat arcane niche of the semiconductor industry: gallium arsenide or GaAs. Over the span of my career, I have had the opportunity to see this technology grow from just an area of promise, funded by government R&D, to a multi-billion dollar industry 30 years later. All cell phones and the wireless LAN in most laptops use GaAs ICs.
Areas that interest me include
- marketing and business strategy;
- organizations, their dynamics, leadership, and governance;
- news and politics;
- audio technology as applied to radio and new media;
- arm-chair philosophy, the meaning of life; and
- Unitarian Universalism.
My daughter thinks I’m a geek. Her assessment is basically right, although I see myself as broader than that, say more of an Elizabethan with a technical core.
Thanks for your interest.
