About DJ

 My education throughout my life has been a "Labor of Love."  Not one to be satisfied with a kind of interest in "what I do," I have changed paths MANY times.

Reflective of this is my inherent desire for brevity.  I don't think I can thrive in academia, and have never considered myself to have a desire to "live" in academia, as I feel that it uses too many words to state the essence of "what is."

The MORE PROFOUND changes that have occurred were through my MENTORS, who I am so VERY grateful to.  There is NO WAY I could have accomplished the things I have today without the help and guidance of these great people.
