Dear Futurists,
Thank you for joining this wiki and helping us get more futurists into online social networks today.

I'm president of the Acceleration Studies Foundation (ASF), a small nonprofit engaged in outreach, education, research, and advocacy regarding technologies of accelerating change. In 2006-7, ASF produced the Metaverse Roadmap, a funded public foresight study on the ten and twenty year future of the 3D-enabled web. In 2007 I developed and taught a required undergraduate course in Foresight Development (futures studies plus personal futures work). See Course Outline and Course Wiki for more. In 2008, ASF has launched the Global Futures Network, a modest initiative to help futurists of all types join and lead the adoption and improvement of the planet’s leading social networks, online at http://futuresnetwork.org

My academic interests are evolutionary and developmental systems theory, futures studies and education, and processes of accelerating change. I am a member of the Association of Professional Futurists. I have a BS in Business from UC Berkeley, an MS in Futures Studies from U. Houston, and six years of postgrad coursework in biological, medical, cognitive, computer and physical science at UCLA, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego.
