At age 37, I was at a crossroads. The linguistic robotics business I established was superbly profitable, but the accumulation of financial rewards was no longer an incentive, and the day-to-day operations had become an unfulfilling drag. If I kept going, the next acquisition would have been a new aeroplane for the company. But that path often leads to becoming one of those douchebags who upon succeeding in commerce, believe in their infallibility, and eventually pilot the plane into the side of a mountain. So instead, I decided to retire.

This website outlines some of my volunteer work since, and how I applied the lessons learned during the years of running my company, to hopefully make incremental improvements to the world around me.
