Futurist · Inventor · Keynote speaker
I help people and brands feel what the future could be like, so they can shape what comes next.
Fifteen years leading innovation and strategic foresight inside a Fortune 100 company, turning signals into strategies, inventions, and experiences. Now I do that work with organizations that need to see what's coming and decide what to do about it.
What I build
Three ways in. Pick the one that matches what is changing for you.
Think in decades, act in days.
For leaders and strategy teams facing a technological or market shift. We read the signals, build the scenarios, name a preferred future, and draw the road back to the decisions in front of you this year.
Turn the way your business runs into an intelligent operating system.
For owner-run businesses whose operations live in spreadsheets, a patchwork of apps, and one person's head. We write the business down, then build one system around how it actually works, with AI designed in from day one.
Make a future people can actually feel.
For conferences, offsites, and teams that need to understand a future instead of hearing about it. Keynotes, exhibitions, future artifacts, and immersive workshops that put an audience inside a possible tomorrow and send them back with hope and agency.
The hard part of the future isn't predicting it. It's getting an organization ready to build toward it.
Strategies · Featured foresight study
A foresight study does not predict. It builds one possible future in enough detail to argue with, then works back to the decisions it asks of us now. This one, The Future of Value Exchange, asks what happens when an economy stops measuring what it can extract from people and starts asking what it can nourish: from scarcity to abundance, from "how do I monetize this?" to "how do I nourish this?" The point is not that 2050 will look like this. The point is that a team can build the future it wants to see with the same steps.
Verifiable credentials arriving in everyday wallets. Creators attributed for their work. A generation choosing meaning over salary.
Causal Layered Analysis to get beneath the problem to the worldview and the metaphor. A futures triangle to weigh the push of the present, the weight of the past, and the pull of the future.
2050. A plural value stack where access and reciprocity sit beside currency, and people choose work for alignment and shared flourishing.
A backcast from 2050 in five phases: pilot, expand, standardize, harmonize, normalize. Small movements over decades.
An offer letter from 2046, written the way a nourishing economy would write one. Basic living coverage instead of a salary line.
Written September 2025. Institute for the Future experiential futures methods.
Systems · When the future needs to become operational
Systems work happens through Press Play Futures, the studio I founded to build custom operating systems for owner-run businesses. Most businesses run on spreadsheets, a patchwork of apps, and things only one person knows. We turn that into one system built around how the business actually works.
Step 1
About two weeks. One fixed price.
We map how the business actually runs: the processes, the tools, and the rules that live in people's heads. You get it written down, a prototype you can click, and a fixed quote for the build. Yours to keep either way.
Step 2
Quoted from your Blueprint.
One platform that runs the business, built in short visible loops so you are using something real within weeks. Agents are designed in from day one. Your data stays yours, always.

Rosters, stats, and seasons in one place, with a public portal for families.Case study →“The hectic weeks, 6 different tabs open and days you're stressed you're missing something are gone! We've tried so many programs over the years and found ourselves conforming to what they offered. Every single one was missing a big part of our systems. We now have something that understands what we do and what we need eyes on. The productivity is up and stress level is down.”
Experiences · Featured exhibit
Embedding physical objects with digital memories.
The first public experiential futures exhibition from 3vies. It explores intentional living, legacy, and thinking in decades by linking physical objects to the digital details of future memories. It is both an art exhibition and a foresight laboratory.
Today the tag on the back of each print is a doorway: scan it and the certificate opens. The next step is for the object to carry its memory itself. The chip holds the record, not a link to it: who made the piece, where it hung, who has held it, what was said about it, and the moment it was made. Provenance stops depending on a server staying online. Hand the print to your grandchildren and the memory goes with it. That is what timeless means here: an object that outlives its platforms and still remembers.

The 3vies magazine
Since 2015, 3vies has been an annual print magazine on art, foresight, and intentional living. Volume 40, To The Future, closes the founder decade.
The final volume in the trilogy: Looking, Forward, To The Future. It is a record of the transition into the next decade, the unlimited possible paths ahead, and the journey into the role of futurist helping brands explore emerging futures. After a decade of publishing, this is the last magazine. A beautiful way to close the collection: with hope and a curiosity for the future.
