Recently I created The Sphere Initiative with the objective of increasing Experiential Health by reducing what neurologists define as Experiential Pain (or “emotional pain”) worldwide through research and innovation. It is a form of neurological pain centered in the brain that is experienced by virtually everyone. It involves interactions of the body, brain, mind and environment. It is “real” pain and it often has significant effects, both directly and indirectly, on each of us as individuals. It is also very costly to society. I also incorporated Sphere First, L.L.C., which offers project management and incubator programs, and arranges financing for both for-profit and non-profit entrepreneurs that want to develop products and services to alleviate Experiential Pain worldwide. It also offers consulting and educational services concerning the nature of Experiential Pain and how it affects human behavior and society, as well as the early signs of Experiential Pain in individuals and the development of timely and effective interventions. The Sphere Initiative and Sphere First welcome the involvement of any individual or organization that would like to contribute to the reduction of Emotional Pain, each in its own way. See our website at SphereInitiative.org for more information. I have served as a senior corporate executive officer and have held the offices of vice president, executive vice president, president and chief operating officer, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, director, and managing director. I have been instrumental if the formation of seven new ventures and have been involved in investment banking, mergers & acquisitions, divestitures, venture capital, and turn-around management. My functional experience includes finance, marketing, sales, administration, and strategic planning. I retired from corporate life at 45 years of age and have since had 15 years experience with non-profits.
