Native of NYC living in Virginia Beach VA currently. Active in UN and NGO community as journalist and pioneer of innovations in journalism. Schooled at NY's School of Visual Arts and Pace University. I am seeking synergy with collaborators who will want to drive education reform with entrepreneurial invention rather than with theory negotiated though established channels. I have spent many years finding out that education reform will not happen no matter how strong the theory is. It must be driven from the outside by something which racially departs and delivers extraordinary value everyone will choose over the existing models. I have invented informatics upon which to base a new kind of communication and study and need help putting it into action in a place where it can't be ignored.
Social development, synergy, motivation, facilitation, sustainable social progress
One idea is that knowledge of the intellectual growth dynamic known as "neuroplasticity" means that education as we know it is actually dysfunctional in significant regards and therefore education reform should cease arguing that a new model is merely "better" or "more effective". Indeed the old model is institutionalized dysfunction and no one will choose dysfunction when a new model corrects that dysfunction. The model I am pioneering under the banner of UNDERSTANDING Inc. does this and much more.
Anything you feel could bring about a synergy where we bring the future forward to the present.
Public speaking and writing.

A comment on Conversation: Does anyone understand the Big Bang theory?
Is the reason we can't see a "black hole" because unless we are looking perpendicular to it, it disappears into flathood? If it's not flat, should we continue to call it a hole? If you assume that "gravity" causes a star to form why should anything exist after a star explodes? If something remains that has enormous attractive power one must ask the chicken or egg question ie. was there the presence of some phenomenon to cause the collapse which is preserved and added to? When a black hole "feeds" is it just that matter has come close which is not on the precise axis with the "hole"? Or is this nuts? Either it's a hole or a sphere. And if it's a hole, which becomes invisible if we look at it from a parallel edge, we have to realize that we are talking about non-existence as existing. When something exists and doesn't exist, it comes into line with things that exist on two places at once.
