I have spent my professional life as Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer of privately- and publicly-held companies. I have a Master of Electrical Engineering degree from Rice University and am a Certified Public Accountant. This unlikely combination summarizes my broad interests, including a deep love of history and of the theater, and a fascination with religion and with humanity’s relationships with reality.

I enjoy teaching and have occasionally been a lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin, including teaching courses on finance and on information technology management in its MBA school, and on entrepreneurship and on corporate change in its undergraduate business school.

My first interview

I'm slowly figuring this all out.

Mindset Reading asked to do an interview, so we set one up.

This was my first, so I agonized over everything.

My first bad idea was to wear a black shirt while sitting in a black, high-backed chair. In the video, from time to time, it looks like my shoulders are deformed.
