For more than fifty years, I worked in the trenches of technology—from vacuum tubes and analog systems to the networks, artificial intelligence, and social media that connect us today. My life also unfolded beneath the shadow of the Cold War and its aftermath.

And now I am a proud grand and great-grandfather… who I want to dedicate my final years in doing my utmost to help ensure my generation gives them the support, tools, resources, and foundation to end systemic violence and work hard to meet the needs of future generations and in doing so you ensure our future.

Along the way, I learned one plain and simple truth: violence cannot secure a future worth inheriting. Agape Sojourners grew from the conviction that our technology, industry, and imagination must serve life rather than domination and destruction.

This is not a claim to possess all the answers. It is an invitation to seekers, young people, elders, builders, technologists, and dreamers: ask difficult questions, examine power honestly, and help build the infrastructure future generations will need to survive and thrive.

Agape is our filter—active care joined with courage, discernment, accountability, nonviolence, and respect for the dignity of every person. We are connected. We have the tools. Let us build the future—together - for all of our grand and great-grandchildren… by taking care of each child born here and now.
