“The encouragement of people to think internationally, to regard the culture of their own country as part of a world culture, to conceive a physical, spiritual and intellectual world heritage, is important in the endeavour to avoid the destruction of humanity”
The Late Justice Lionel Murphy,
in his judgement on the Franklin Dam Case
Tasmania, Australia, 1st July, 1983.
ABOUT
Whenever confronted by two roads that diverge in the woods, I have sided with Frost and chosen the path less travelled. In considering how to make my way through this world, I adopt the cadence of Tzu's pace of nature, embrace Bourdain's love of the diversity of cultural expression, and measure what it is to succeed through Emerson's lens of transcendentalism. I believe in passion - in whatever form or pursuit it takes - and that there is a way to live our lives - a code - that does not have to distinguish between the realms of work and play.
Professionally, I draw on the combination of a classical liberal arts education with an NCAA Division 1 championship to think critically, communicate clearly, and set and hold myself to the highest of standards. A thorough grounding in the aesthetic perspectives has provided me with the necessary preconditions to collaborate effectively and position myself at the forefront of innovation. I am proud not to have narrowed myself to any particular traditional discipline, but to have devoted my working career to understanding what the Gehl's referred to as "the space between".
Personally, I welcome and embrace change and believe, with Watts and Wolfe, that accepting impermanence is the foundation of both a healthy society and a calmness of mind and spirit. I aspire to the grace and wisdom of the Haudenosaunee principle of two canoes navigating the same river. I believe that we are fundamentally interdependent, that we are a tapestry of our interconnection - and ultimately - that we are the sum of our experiences.
