I am very interested in the power of ideas and leadership as tools to bring about change at an individual and community level.

I love to read, learn and meet new people seeking to make a difference in the world in ways big and small.

People who are passionate about what they do intrigue and fascinate me! I love the vision and risk taking abilities of entrepreneurs, have tremendous respect for the dedication of community activists, and appreciate the determination put forth by many people to overcome the daily struggles of every day life. Life is about stories and everyone has a story to share.

On a personal note, I am 45 years old, employed as an attorney for a governmental agency in Buffalo, New York. My other half Cheryl is an attorney as well in private practice concentrating in divorce cases. We have two boys, Michael age 18 and Joseph age 13.

I started my blog due to my desire to continue learning from others and to share thoughts and ideas with others. As part of my desire to learn I have become certified as a Senior Professional Human Resource (SPHR) manager, have a Yellow Belt Certification in Six Sigma, teach at Bryant & Stratton College and I am currently learning Muay Thai martial arts with my 2 boys. I love the beauty of the Adirondack mountains where I spend a lot of my weekends hiking, kayaking, fishing and reading.
