About Me


These quotes say a lot about me.

"Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way!"

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him... The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself... All progress depends on the unreasonable man." ...George Bernard Shaw

(Women, please forgive me for George's gender bias. That is the only part I would change.)

“Illiteracy in the 21st Century will not be not knowing how to read and write, but rather not knowing how to learn, unlearn, and re-learn.” ...Alvin Toffler
