Q1: Do you have keynote speaking experience?
Yes—I've spoken on corporate stages, churches, and personal-growth events to rooms of 500+ attendees. I often receive positive feedback about my relatable speaking style, and have often been invited back to be a repeat speaker.
Q2: Are you still involved in tech?
Yes. After taking an early-retirement package from Microsoft, I founded a successful boutique tech firm called SummaCode advising global companies on AI, cloud networks, and brand growth.
Q3: What’s your religious background?
I was raised Catholic, and still active today. I value my Christian faith and foundation—but I'm also open-minded, respectful, and welcoming to all backgrounds and viewpoints in my work. For a portion of my life I attended and led Methodist ministries and had the opportunity to learn about other traditions. I have also always valued certain Buddhist philosophies of meditation and non-attachment. My book The Law of Attention is universal and can be applied to people of all types. I believe in preaching with my life and sharing my faith with those who ask or come across my materials, but not in being judgmental or trying to prove that anyone else of good intent is wrong (although always up for some good-hearted debate).
Q4: Your books feel refreshingly science-forward for someone with a Christian background—why?
I believe science and natural law strongly point back to our Creator / God / Source. I view God not as distant and abstract, but as the Source of our universe, programmer of our inner code, and our wellspring of Inspiration. Interestingly, two of the most respected scientists ever to live, Einstein and Newton, felt similarly about this too.
Q5: You sometimes quote thinkers like Tolle, Aristotle, and Siddhartha—are you new age / universalist?
I believe we can find God-given wisdom for life in many places, and that it's important to meet people where they are. I endeavor to help people of all types connect the dots that ultimately lead back to our Source. I was greatly impacted as a youth by the book Siddhartha and the works of Aristotle, and I continue to draw from that wisdom today. Most of all I was impacted by Jesus, which is why I remain a passionate Christian to this day. If I am speaking at your event I can be mindful of the audience present and select subject matter accordingly.
Q6: How do you balance business and theology?
I live my principles and lead by example. I don't push beliefs beyond love of our Creator and love of our neighbor - and if asked I happily share about how finding Jesus changed my life. Most businesspeople appreciate these meaningful conversations, and the opportunity to discuss how our inner environment largely leads to our outward experiences of the world around us. Most people like to talk about topics beyond just the weather and sports (though I love those subjects too :-).
