What I Do


As a scientist-artist I bring together information and expression that bridges mind, heart and spirit.   My long career provides me with unlikely knowledge and a broad range of skills.  In between book launches I have time for a few wonderful clients.

My intent is to work with creative people whose values aim to serve the greater good, enhance what we know, and how we know.

DISCOVER

Being a scientist is not only about what we do, but rather how we think.  No longer in a research lab, I still look to how to solve problems. I find myself inquisitive, always  asking questions and how to make things right. I love the challenge of new explorations and discoveries.  From seeking tools to ‘fix’ broken white blood cells to mining molecules for their hidden messages, I bring an eclectic experience to guiding people to gaining wisdom, be it for personal healing, commercial use or uncovering microscopic patterns that tell the story of a wine’s life,

I  develop creative content based on your needs and intent.

 

PHOTOGRAPH

I take photographs, digital and film (yes, film).  And as you can see from this site, most of my photography is through a light microscope. I didn’t photograph the visible world until after I got hooked on photographing invisible landscapes and cellular dominions.  Now I can do that for you as well, from vineyard to vat, to what’s in your glass.

DELIVER

I DELIVER keynote presentations, talks and workshops.

I DELIVER results, on time
