By far our greatest challenge is preserving the balance between environment and the impact of human activity, rivaling the tragedies occurring in Africa, India as well as other developing nation- humanitarily speaking there is no comparison, but there are many links. Preserving one can improve the outlook for many.
Fortunately human capacity has the unique ability to adapt and change. Fraught with compromises, questions and with so many to consider, there is no satisfactory answer for what we face.

As I reflect on what my task is at Tufts University I think about the power of the resources at my disposal in Urban Planning and Environmental Engineering. I reflect on the opportunity as a utility, to apply theory, philosophy, ideology, modeling and structure to produce a transformational strategy to preserve our natural environment-- helping others to understand and improve. I believe we can learn to help others make immeasurable leaps in faith and progress. My goal is to produce compelling insights that can move the world-- why not?
Engagement with people from around the world, resembling a United Nations located in a place where our differences become our indifference-- to barriers. We to explore the frontier together in order to foster new thinking and energy that makes the planet a more habitable place to live.
Critical thresholds of water resources; debate and dialog on economic influences, health risk factors all leave me capitulating to the evidence that rests before me; knowing that within all of this is not solely idealism that drives my commitment to change, but my unshakable belief in what is possible for humanity to achieve. People managing scarcity, and transforming it into abundance, implementing strategies around policies and sound planning, collectively represent my drivers.
How much time do we have to achieve all this?
We have exactly enough time... starting right now.
