Washington DC

NASA Open Innovation Program Manager. We're setting NASA data free and creating vehicles to allow global citizens to innovate with our data and tools. I'm also a PhD student in the Planning, Governance and Globalization program at Virginia Tech. My research topic is Knowledge Creation through Complex Collaborative Practice.

Passions: Serving the God of this Universe with all my heart, soul, and mind. Giving hope to the hopeless. Making this world a better place to live.

Note: I fell in love with the people and rich culture of Africa after spending time there with my daughter, who worked in South Africa counseling AIDS orphans, and my aunt and uncle, who are missionaries in Zambia. If only I could afford more frequent visits....
