I future-proof humans so technology won't replace them. Educator @ UC Riverside | Polymath | Speaker | Writer | Air Force Veteran
If your last educational experience was more than three years ago, you are quickly becoming irrelevant.

What are you doing to become 1% better tomorrow than you were today?

You are either moving forward or becoming obsolete. Homeostasis is an illusion.

Genetic testing firm, #23andMe, has filed for bankruptcy. If you have used this company and submitted your DNA, it will be sold to the highest bidder.

I advise people to delete their #DNA data as soon as possible. You have the right to direct the company to delete all personal and #genetic data.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

We make it through life the best way we can, each according to our gifts. The race is never fair, the path never smooth, and the finish line uncertain.

Empathy, kindness, and being present in the lives of those we love make the journey worthwhile.

I am grateful for firefighters en route from Canada and Mexico to assist local agencies in battling the #PacificPalisades 🔥 (19% contained) and the #Eaton 🔥 (55% contained). Also grateful for crews assisting from Texas, Utah, Oregon, Georgia, and Arizona contributing manpower and equipment.

When I agreed to lead a #projectmanagement boot camp in beautiful, historic #SanFrancisco, I committed to walking daily to experience the city from the ground level.

Even with a gradient of 25%, the streets were a lollapalooza of excellent restaurants, historic businesses, and curious oddities.

The Fall quarter ends today at the University of California, Riverside, marking my 20th year as an educator at this impactful institution.

UC Riverside has empowered me to teach over 20,000 project managers from over 10,000 companies and 64 countries and I will be forever grateful.
