I have taken the Rickenbacher approach to building my career - do a lot of different things that capture my attention while I'm young and then use that diverse experience to hone in on the things that truly interest me.
I've tried very hard to be cognisant of other important aspects of life, namely, my wife and children. As one good friend told me, "no success in the workplace can make up for failure in the home."
I am an entrepreneur and a lover of melding creativity with business.
Branding and identity, innovation, creative thinking among others.

Youkipedia is the holding tank / parent brand for my slowly growing portfolio of business ventures. As Apple is to the iPod, iPhone, iTunes, etc so Youkipedia is to its various ventures. Except Youkipedia is a lot smaller than Apple and currently does not run any cool TV commercials.
