Me in Three

I'm a thinker a synthesist,an investigator, a pragmatist and vsionary. I practice collaborative business as a theory in action and believe that without a shift towards a collaborative model of management todays biggest organisations will be tomorrows dinosaurs. I am dedicated to collaborating in success by improving the world I live in and for me any conflict between that and profitable success is a manufactured construct not an inevitability.
I make guitars and valve amplifiers, I love to read I like to sail but don't get to do it very much. I love taking pictures, messing in the kitchen and inventing. If I had the time I would study more languages and read more social histories. When I was 14 I wrote to the Institute of General Semantics in Connecticut asking when I could join so you see the rot had set in early.
There is nothing so close to the truth as a stratocaster played through a valve driven spring reverb unit and single ended valve amp with fuzz face clone pedal. Unlike the manufactured conflict between profit and making the world a better place this is actually a law of nature.
