I work as a free agent along the boundaries between business, education and technology. I'm co-founder of The University of the Future, LLC (aka FutureU™) and coordinator of the business and social network known as the Briarpatch (history; community).

My primary research interest is in the social and technical challenges of the use of technology for learning and communicating in teams. I also have an interest in the use of ethnographic field methodologies for understanding corporate culture and communities of practice. Together with my wife and partner Gail Terry Grimes, I have completed numerous internal research projects for clients and for our own purposes. Read more about my research here.
