I am a philosopher, professor and musician.

We currently face a series of global challenges that are unprecedented in human history.

In order to respond creatively and effectively to those challenges, we need more people who are practically wise.

I seek to develop practical wisdom by engaging in reflective dialogue with diverse groups of people, and by cultivating playful and aesthetically-rich experiences.
