You will be hard-pressed to find anyone with as much broad scientific knowledge as I have. This comes primarily from my innate intellectual curiosity and well as over ten years as a free-lance science and technology writer. Additionally, as an award-winning, multi-media artist (photo/film/video/new media) with over 30 years of experience, I bring a level of creativity to the table that few other innovators possess.
