About Us

THEN

 

When Ethan was about six he watched two films that shaped the rest of his life; Koyaanisqatsi and Gandhi.  It was from these films that the following ideas were cemented in his head, and in his heart:

  • Life on this planet is indeed out of balance (Koyaanisqatsi is the Hopi word for “Life Out of Balance”)
  • One person, dedicating their life to the cause, can fundamentally change the world

 

It is with these two concepts that Ethan has approached life ever since.  The world is abound with problems – but we have the power to change everything.

 

By the time Ethan was twelve, he found himself enthralled with the power and promise of technology. Not having enough money to go out and buy a fancy store-bought computer, he undertook to build his first PC himself.

 

Shortly thereafter he was building and fixing computers every day after school.

 

By the time he was 20, he was building the fastest growing computer manufacturing business in the state of Washington according to Microsoft.

 

He was being flown all over the country by the big tech companies, meeting the president of Intel Corp. on several occasions, and serving on the Partner Advisory Council to Microsoft.

 

By the time Ethan stepped out of the corporate fray at 27, he had helped build a multimillion-dollar tech business which deployed large scale infrastructure projects all over northwest Washington, and sold custom computers and network servers to institutions in nearly every state west of the Mississippi.

 

But the plush corporate life wasn’t his road.

 

Making world change would require stepping out of the comfort zone.

 

 

NOW

 

Today, Ethan helps businesses and individuals find harmony with their technology, while advocating for sustainability, humanity and social progress.

 

Our technology has the power to transform the world and individuals in tremendous and wonderful ways.  But it is fraught with peril as well.

 

Ethan serves as a rarely found bridge between the technological and the human.  He is one of the few who understands deep technical concepts, but can explain them in plain English.  Conversely, he understands people and their needs, and draws on his deep technical acumen to deploy appropriate technology in ways that have immediate positive impacts in people’s lives.

 

 

THE FUTURE

 

We are living in a very exciting age.  We are at the cusp of an exponential growth curve few can truly understand or appreciate.

 

Put it this way: if you take 30 steps on a linear path, you’ll arrive at 30.  But if you do it exponentially, by the time you’ve taken 30 steps, you’ll have passed one billion.

 

That’s exponential growth – and that’s our road. 

 

Our society is approaching what scientists have deemed “The Singularity” – a point past which, even our most brilliant minds cannot predict.  This is the point of the exponential curve where the line essentially goes straight up.

 

As Strong AI becomes a reality, concurrent with the developments in Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, Genetics and Robotics, we are moving full-clip toward the great unknown.

 

For those of us paying close attention to the advancements in the aforementioned areas, there are aspects of this that are truly terrifying.  People like Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and many others have warned about the profound risks our technology will soon pose.

 

Yet progress continues undeterred.

 

So we head into a world that will, in all likelihood, look so different from the one of today that it will be largely unrecognizable by current standards.

 

Yet we’re still sending our kids to school to learn the same subjects they’ve been taught for hundreds of years.  And in 20 years time, they’ll graduate woefully unprepared for the world that has befallen them in the meantime.

 

In countless ways, our society is tragically failing to prepare for the future.  From climate change to massive species extinction, to the possible loss of 40% of today’s jobs to AI within the next 15 years – it’s time we wake up to the reality we’re creating – and running full sprint into.

 

But it’s not all doom and gloom.

 

Ethan’s philosophy is that technology is here to serve humanity. In the coming decades, our fusion with technology will only further highlight the need for a harmonious relationship with that which we now struggle so frivolously with.

 

If we are to achieve greatness as a species, as communities, as businesses, and as individuals, we must master the tools of our time.

 

We are living in a time of unimaginable possibility.  But it’s up to us to properly prepare for it, and in so doing, create the future we want.  A future of wonder and abundance.  Of hope and joy.  Of thriving life systems and global harmony.

 

A future of Lomakatsi – Life In Balance.

 

Shannon sees possibility where others see only dust and tumbleweeds.

 

Shan-1

Her mantra is; if you can conceive it and believe it, you can achieve it.

 

As such, Shannon brings with her the passion and faith required to bring any project to it’s fullest bloom.

 

Her aesthetic eye is unparalleled (she ran a large-scale photo lab for many years) and her ability to see and design works of magnificence are remarkable.

 

Nobody sees possibility like Shannon does.  

Between Shannon’s extraordinary vision and Ethan’s incremental approach of breaking down large projects into “bite size” pieces, we have achieved tremendous success across an exceptionally wide array of undertakings, and have helped countless individuals and organizations achieve the same.

 

We understand that success is usually achieved through the strategic fusion of multiple interdisciplinary components coming together in a holistic model. It is our unique and complementary skill sets that enable us to delivery excellent results.

 

We don’t suffer from the common problem of more single-minded ventures where “to a hammer, every problem looks like a nail”, nor do we try and fit round pegs in square holes.

 

We find and apply appropriate solutions to problems, whatever they may be.

 

And we’re exceptionally good at it.

We currently reside on the Big Island of Hawaii and offer services to businesses and individuals both here and abroad.

We’ll be happy to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit for you.
