The world isn't broken by accident. It's broken by design.

You know something's off.

The news doesn't add up. The experts contradict each other. The politicians say one thing and do another. And meanwhile, you're just trying to figure out what's actually true.

Taking a Closer Look is where we cut through the noise together.

I investigate the systems affecting your life — the technology tracking your attention, the politics shaping your options, the economics behind why everything feels harder than it should be. No jargon. No spin. Just clear explanations of what's really happening and why it should matter to you.

What you'll find here:

How tech companies manipulate what you see and think. Why short-term profits keep winning over long-term solutions. What's really behind the political theater. How misinformation spreads and who benefits. The psychology of fear and persuasion — and how to spot it.

I'm not a pundit or an academic. I've spent 30+ years building systems, running companies, and watching how technology changes everything. I've been working with AI since 1991 — long before it was headlines. I know how these systems work because I've built them.

If you're tired of being told what to think and ready to understand what's actually going on, you're in the right place.

Let's take a closer look — together.

About the Author

I’m not an academic or a pundit — I’m someone who’s spent decades inside the systems most people only read about. I’ve led companies, built technology, managed crises, and seen up close how decisions made in boardrooms, labs, and political offices ripple through everyday life.

Along the way, I learned something uncomfortable: the world isn’t run by logic or fairness — it’s run by systems built for short-term gain, shaped by people who often don’t see the consequences. Taking a Closer Look was born out of a simple need to push back — to slow down, question what we’re told, and separate what’s real from what’s noise.

I write for people who want to understand what’s really happening — not through talking points or ideology, but through truth, reason, and lived experience. My work connects the dots between leadership, technology, economics, and human behavior, revealing how they interact — and what that means for the rest of us.

This isn’t about outrage or partisanship. It’s about clarity.
It’s about understanding how the world actually works, so we can start changing it — one informed mind at a time.

If you’ve ever felt like something isn’t adding up in the headlines — you’re not alone. That’s why I’m here.
Let’s take a closer look together.
