Back to school
After celebrating my youngest son’s graduation from college, it was finally my turn to return to academia. So, my wife and I sold the house in the suburbs, rented an apartment in Jersey City and the adventure began.
In the fall of 2024, I was a first-year graduate student at Columbia University in the School of Professional Studies pursuing a degree in Information and Knowledge Management. In January 2026, I will complete my degree and embark on some combination of the following:
The Implementation of Human Centered AI
Digital Transformation - Change Management
Coaching - Mentoring - Motivating - Inspiring
Agentic AI - Consumer Agents - Agent Space
Life-long Learner
Think Bigger Ideas:
Company Specific Websites will be replaced by Market Facing Agentic AI as the dominant form of e-commerce by 2030.
Knowledge - When where and how you want it - Gaining superagency by partnering with AI (Think Jarvis and Tony Stark).
Remaining Relevant as we Age - Custom AI Companions that meet seniors where they are (Voice-First, Privacy Guaranteed, Information Driven).
