Joel Kopischke’s Summary
I've spent my whole adult life dancing between the worlds of the arts and technology, having a fair amount of success in both. (Did I mention I'm a Gemini?) For example, I'm named on 3 patents for a software system I designed and as a singer/comedian I've released a critically-acclaimed CD that's gotten national airplay. In my "spare time" I've also explored leadership stuff, having been the president of the board of a large co-op (10,000+ members and $25M+ annual sales) and been certified to lead experiential and leadership development trainings for ManKind Project International.
