About

I'm interested in harnessing market forces -- including media -- to address big problems.

Previously an architect, real estate developer and investment banker, I decided it was time to do something meaningful. After extensive research, looking for the project that would allow me to make the greatest possible difference, I founded Glasses for Humanity. Our businesslike approach combines cause marketing, social franchising and microfinance to establish a leveraged, scalable and financially sustainable means by which to combat vision loss of all types. Our website is at www.GlassesForHumanity.org.

Currently, I am focused on the launch of www.ChangingThePresent.org. Please take a look.

If you'd like to know more about our approach, please contact me and I will be glad to send you an overview. If you would like to contribute ideas, efforts or financially, please don't be shy.
