Please accept my best wishes for a happy and productive 2019. I hope that your holidays (in whatever manner you may celebrate) were relaxing, rewarding, and rejuvenating.
As noted elsewhere on this Website, I have recently accepted a new position with Aira Tech Corp., but I have been given permission to continue my consulting services, so long as they do not conflict with my new responsibilities. Given that I will continued, obviously at a reduced rate, to engage with members of the disability community in a wide range of consulting roles, I want to respond to requests that I have received from several who have visited this Website. I have been asked to share more about myself, my perspective on different aspects of disability, and offer an explanation behind my departure as Executive Director of the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired. While the podcast to which I will refer you may not directly answer all of the questions about me that I have received, upon reviewing my conversation with Jonathan Mosen on his podcast, The Blindside, I have concluded that this would be an effective way of sharing, in my own voice, responses to most of the inquiries received.
Toward this end, please visit episodes 95 and 96 of The Blindside podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about my background and my perspective on a number of disability-related issues. The links to these episodes are below:
