I have an innate desire to understand (and change) the world through invention in the existential sense of existence before essence. In this regard, I'll often invent something that people didn't at first think needed inventing. My goal is to (1) be driven by dreams and more far reaching goals rather than problem-driven; and (2) be able to create industries or business potential around products that create a new market, rather than fall into an existing market.Specialties: People describe me as a creative visionary and laterial thinker. I like to ask fundamental philosophical questions and invent both the problem and the solution. I often invent new and useful devices or technologies that solve problems people have not yet thought of.Whereas most people think vertically and collaborate horizontally, I tend to work best in an environment where I can think horizontally (laterally) and collaborate vertically (i.e. with users and suppliers rather than peers).
