Steve Blackmon’s Summary

I am a talented hardware/software/systems engineer with a fervent interest in emerging technologies and business models for many industries. I love solving problems. I am constantly learning and improving my skills. I am building careers as a consultant, entrepreneur, and investor. I am currently focused on energy management and optimization.

I enjoy thinking, reading, writing, coding, and communicating. My passions are science, technology, business, their mutual coevolution, and their collective impact on society and economy. I enjoy meeting new people, spending time outdoors, and cultural activities.

I closely track state-of-the-art laboratory and commercial developments in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, defense, biotechnology, nanomaterials, virtual reality, and atomically precise manufacturing. I ponder and blog about how disruptive technologies alter the realities and possibilities of global economics, politics, military balance-of-power, education, trade agreements, and emerging-market development programs.

My lifetime goals include 1) earning an MBA 2) co-founding a best-of-breed technology company 3) making my first million 4) holding public office. Most likely in that order.
