When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

The only thing I can remember from that time was I loved playing with my toy, Big Jim. Later he would have a Kung-Fu grip. Maybe I wanted to be like him. My parents were able to get me many of his accessories and even the Big Jim Camper.

Comic books came soon after and I wanted to be the Hulk.

Then came the Happy Days television show and I wanted to be the Fonz.

My piano teacher asked me for a nickname, I said Hulk. A little later I changed it to Fonz. He would call me Fonzo.

It was always changing.

What’s something most people don’t understand?

How can anyone answer this question with only one thing? There is very much people don’t understand.

Start with how many different generations, countries, philosophies, religions, languages and people there are in the world.

They don’t all follow the same meaning of life.

The key word is in the question.

Understand.

How has technology changed your job?

Technology which is constantly changing, includes everything from the wheel and pulley to complex systems like computers, smartphones, military intelligence and weapons, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology.

Technology can make a job easier or difficult.

Technology can speed up all processes of life while make people lazy.

Technology also creates shortcuts, complacency and allows ignorance to blossom.

When work becomes easier due to technology, bosses want more productivity out of their workers.

When technology fails, people lose ability to function because their resilience has been diminished by it.

Technology interferes with natural organic ecosystems.

Technology has significant ethical implications, both positive and negative. In the wrong hands, most organisms could face extinction leading to catastrophic consequences.

Technology creates a new language encouraging a digital divide element.

Technology gets me to my job faster.

Technology has changed my jobs in a way that without it, I would have to relearn my job.

What do you wish you could do more every day?

Whatever I want. I’m into many things and most of them come in waves of inspiration. There isn’t a check in or check out time.

Read, write, meditate, laugh, listen to and play music, ride my motorcycle, pop in out of shops on a city’s Main Street, enjoy a great meal or cup of coffee, either alone or not, watch the pacific ocean’s waves crashing and sliding onto the coast line.

Hang and talk to my three awesome children. I get the most out of this time. We have certain rituals that keep us together every week. Live, laugh and love.

When spending my time on something that isn’t of my choosing, I still try and find the positivity in it.
