I write about adventures in exploring and modeling the dynamics of human behavior. Modeling helps explore the unknown. Through it, we gain insights that can enrich the world, ourselves, and others.
We look for the “emerging perspectives” to help you solve your problems. And we communicate them with stories. My stories cover psychology, fitness, exercise, martial arts, and healthy aging.
