I've done some things right, and I've done some things wrong. But even when I did the wrong things, I hope I did them for the right reasons.
All I can do is the best I can, and hopefully leave this world a little bit better than I found it.
So after (about) 50 years, here's where I am now...
About me
My First 50 Years
WHO AM I?
Family is everything. Everything I do is for them. Even when I'm trying to make the world a little bit better, it's for them. That's it.
Oh, but speaking of Family Guy...

PROFESSOR
I've been teaching since 1998. Since then, I've taught thousands of students at large state universities and small liberal arts colleges, and met some amazing kids along the way -- I've even been there for their engagements and weddings, breakups and divorces, kids' births, Christenings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and naming ceremonies. I guess they're just stuck with me.

ENTREPRENEUR
Do I believe everything happens for a reason? No. Sometimes bad things happen for no reason at all. That's life. It's what you do in and after those moments that really counts. Like fighting cancer for the last 12 years. That (hopefully) didn't happen for a reason... but it certainly made me appreciate every single moment I've got. Yeah, it’s been tough, but I’m still here — a little worse for wear, but I'm still moving forward.

CANCER FIGHTER
My wife and I set out to revolutionize education, so we developed our Practical Experiential Learning™ (PEL) model. Based on that, we founded The Basel School — the best higher education institution on the planet — and now we’re doing it again in 2025 with The Zurich School.
