Creativity
My mother was an artist. She also taught me to play chess when I was 5 years old.
Logic & creativity are often considered opposite ends of a spectrum, but when combined I believe they mutually reinforce and amplify one another, and give birth to curiosity -- a precursor to both innovation and change.
While the above relationships are speculation (I believe to be true), friends and colleagues will describe me as highly logical, creative, and I personally know I have insatiable curiosity. This curiosity leads not only to an endless pursuit of questioning and learning, but also to the formation of new models of how things work, and relentless efforts to catalogue, test, modify and improve, in pursuit of a more comprehensive understanding of how things are.
Given that disposition, I have been fortunate to help start two companies, creating the marque products for both organizations.

While politics appears ever more polarizing, I find the following very encouraging:
-
Within the same "polarized" demographic of people, whether:
-
My family, friends, co-workers, teammates in sports or other organizations to which I belong
-
We work incredibly well together, particularly when we share a common goal.
While we have our differences in politics (no different than any of the groups above), I believe the defining problem is that politics forces us to choose one party, or the other.
We've designed a different approach. Here's a sneak-peak of what that looks like:

Founding Member & Head of Product

After graduating college, I met two incredibly talented, driven and capable individuals who were just starting a new company, and needed help. While we started by deploying turn-key city and state-wide wireless networks (microwave backhaul) -- the complexity of doing this effectively became apparent, and I created an initial software application to better coordinate our deployments. Not only did the software create enormous efficiencies for our company, but we discovered much larger telecom companies, Clearwire, Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, and Sprint, were experiencing huge inefficiencies in network deployment. Eventually we were which by each company listed, for software platform and services. In an A / B test, a third-party company hired by Sprint measured the efficiency gain at 40% increase using our software and deployment methodology relative to best in class industry-wide alternatives.
Our company grew to 600+, we'd manage (3) enormous distribution centers, and for 7 years prior to Sprint's merger with T-Mobile, every upgrade to a Sprint cell site was designed, ordered, procured, distributed, and deployed with our software, with our technicians at our warehouses and distribution centers additionally providing configuration and assembly services, allowing for a far more streamlined 'plug and play' installation and commissioning at the cell site.
The software platform, Capstan, and it's corresponding mobile app, smartMOP were highly technical and wide ranging. To automate Bill of Material generation, automated Demand Planning, auto-generated Methods of Procedures for 15,000+ different wireless, network, and construction products (across millions of design permutations) Capstan was designed to incorporate RF Designs, MW Design, Network Design requirements, and sophisticated logic to translate into complicated Design and engineering requirements into simple and actionable MOPs, and BOMs.
