Technology should elevate humanity.
We're living through the most disruptive transformation in human history.
Artificial intelligence is changing how we learn, work, create, discover, and communicate. Like the internet before it, AI has the potential to expand opportunity, unlock creativity, and place extraordinary capabilities into the hands of everyone.

But every breakthrough raises a deeper question.
What kind of future are we building?
I believe technology is at its best when it helps people become more creative, more capable, more connected, and more compassionate. In other words, technology should elevate humanity.
That belief has guided my work for more than two decades.
As a journalist, editor, and storyteller, I've spent my career helping people understand emerging technologies and the ways they reshape business, society, and life. I've led global newsrooms, interviewed founders, researchers, policymakers, and executives and worked alongside talented journalists to explain not just what is changing, but why it matters.
Today, I serve as the Editor-in-Chief and Chief Content Officer of The Deep View, where we're reimagining what trusted journalism can become in the age of AI. Previously, I led editorial teams at ZDNET, CNET, and TechRepublic, helping those publications transform to meet the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing technology landscape.
What continues to inspire me isn't technology itself.
It's the possibility that innovation can expand human potential.
Whether I'm writing, interviewing a pioneer, speaking on stage, hosting a podcast, or advising leaders, I'm driven by the same question:
How can technology help people live wiser, more meaningful, and more connected lives?
That question has taken me into conversations about AI, robotics, scientific discovery, education, spatial computing, leadership, and the future of work. But beneath every topic is the same enduring story: how people adapt, create, and flourish during times of extraordinary change.
Outside of my work, I find perspective in community, service, nature, photography, and meaningful conversations with family and friends. The Baha'i Faith inspires me that humanity is one family and that our greatest technological achievements matter most when they contribute to the well-being of our communities.
The technologies will continue to change.
The mission will not.
Technology should elevate humanity.
