In my role as a futures and foresight educator, facilitator and coach, my mission is to help emerging and successful leaders and organizations achieve positive, transformative, and lasting change in behaviour for themselves, their teams and their broader communities.

My introduction to futures studies occurred during a major organizational strategic review within my department, where I held roles in performance, strategic planning, risk management, and policy. Professor Sohail Inayatullah was engaged to guide our executive leadership team, challenging our existing delivery model and inspiring us to envision new possibilities. His approach to futures thinking, known as the six pillars analysis, deeply resonated with me and motivated me to pursue futures studies as a career. Since then, it has been my great privilege and benefit to have Prof. Inayatullah as both my PhD supervisor and mentor, providing invaluable guidance and support over the past decade.

Subsequently, I have become an award-winning, academically trained futurist. I am currently an adjunct Fellow of Foresight/Futures at the University of the Sunshine Coast and an Associate Professor at Tamkang University, Taiwan, from 2015 to 2023. I obtained my PhD from Macquarie University in Sydney, my Master of Applied Economics (School Medal & 1st Class Honours) from Griffith University, and a B.A. in Soviet Foreign Policy from the University of Colorado, Boulder. I have lived in Hawaii, Colorado, Taiwan, South Korea, England, and Australia.

I am a co-editor of World Futures Review and sit on the editorial board of the Journal of Futures Studies, where I previously held the position of Managing Editor from 2015 to 2021. I have authored numerous journal articles and book chapters, including contributions to the Global Future FITness Study 2023, Macrohistory and Macrohistorians, CLA 2.0: Transformative Research in Theory and Practice, and CLA 3.0: Thirty Years of Transformative Research (with Ralph Mercer, Ivana Milojevic, and John A. Sweeney)."
