Turning visions of futures into smart business plans.
From B2B Saas to the world of healthspan.
Ventures, adventures, innovations untold.
Founded a few, and two have been sold.

Always a builder of ventures and dreams.
Throughout my youth, chasing stars and moonbeams.
Barely a boy with a twinkle in eye.
Trading cards & collectibles, yet never asked why.

Teen years first business, rave parties so grand.
Where music and laughter rang out from the land.
Then came my twenties, with whitewater's flow.
Kayak and camera, filming nature's grand show.

Studies were done, an adult at the door.
So I founded Syntegrity in two-thousand-and-four.
A business of strategies, plans, and more.
Till EPI said "Join us" - two-thousand-six lore.

But my heart yearned for more, techy and bright.
So Kula was born, though fail it just might.
Turning points into help, for schools and the needy.
A venture with heart, where I’m taking the leady.

When Kula was sold in two-thousand-thirteen.
I continued to dream, the future unseen.
Effectuate Apps and ICELab too.
Innovating, creating… exciting and new.

By Germany’s Rhine, a dream then took flight.
A fun PhD, an accelerator to ignite.
Then off to Berlin, for a few years of fun.
As founder for hire, and two ventures done.

Now when not in the world of startups and trade.
I'm deep in the mountains, where energy's made.
Boarding and kayaking in nature's embrace.
Inspiration and flow in the wide open space.

Wilde claimed "life's art", sorta funny to say.
While I simply can't draw, I can build things all day.
Business. my canvas, twenty years you can see.
Venturing, adventuring - for the world and for me.

Inspired by Silverstein, and our new GPT.

As young as a child, I saw patterns galore
First started to code, on Commodore 64
At Sharif the Uni, my coding took flight,
With bright-eyed peers, shaping futures in byte.

But when Canada called, its allure was too sweet,
To Vancouver I went, for a new life to greet!
At the Simon Fraser, my knowledge unfurled,
An advanced world of software, is where my mind twirled.

From teaching to leading, a new tech lab's light,
Inventing, creating, pushing boundaries to new hight!
Through CoreASM's journey, a project so bold,
From those magnificent years, many stories are told.

Friends, philosophy, exploring every space,
Winters skiing, summers by the lake.
A life in Vancouver, so lively and free,
Filled with nature's wonders, as far as I could see.

Ph.D. adventures, interdisciplinary tales,
Criminology, Defense, in vast intellectual scales.
Collaborating, creating, in the academic fray,
Building innovative systems, in every which way.

My career then took flight, and my path also turned,
To Europe's embrace, for more knowledge I yearned.
At SAP, Huawei, big corporate’s quest,
Filed patents, built startups, never taking a rest.

To tooz then I went, with a vision so clear,
Designing smart glasses, a future so near.
Mentoring startups, a growth threefold,
In the heart of old Munich, where my next story's told.

Fractional leader, and mentor and guide,
Empowering teams with wisdom and pride.
Tech leader and seeder, disruptions so rare,
From sensors to SaaS, and now even healthcare.

In Munich, with family, life's a sweet song,
Building tech, playing bass, genau where I belong!
This is my journey, in technology's tide,
With each keystroke or music note, I enjoy the ride!

That’s my ode to Shel, thank you GPT!
