Lifesketch: Keith "Senseilue"

My journey is one of continuous evolution, spanning over five decades of service, innovation, and learning. I am an autodidact and polyglot—a lifelong student of the human experience who believes that "true wisdom begins with the admission of one’s own ignorance." I am a producer, focused on purpose, and I harness technology to amplify my potential.

A Half-Century of Experience

My professional life has been defined by a restless curiosity. It began over 50 years ago in the Bay Area, where I worked as a "newsie" for the San Francisco Examiner and began my first lessons in labor as a dishwasher at age 12. From those early days, I moved into the fast-paced world of technology—peddling software, planning marketing strategies, and promoting breakthrough technologies that shaped the digital age.

The second act of my career took me into the business of education, where I focused on the human side of systems: workforce planning, career development, and building meaningful connections through Alumni Relations. I eventually brought this culmination of experience into Utah’s secondary schools, serving as a teacher and "Sensei." Even now, in my retirement, I continue to serve as a substitute teacher, keeping my connection to the next generation vibrant and active.

Literary & Creative Contributions

Today, I channel this lifetime of perspective into music and literature. Under the name Senseilue, I produce multimedia works that explore the intricacies of human agency and adaptation. My writing serves as a primary vehicle for my life’s philosophy, captured in three works published on Amazon.com:

• The Way Things Used to Be: A reflection on the historical shifts that have brought us to our current era.

• Final Words of a Sensei: A synthesis of the lessons learned across a lifetime of teaching and leading.

• Be Mindful of What You Measure: An analysis of the metrics we use to define success and value.

Philosophical Framework

My intellectual work is grounded in the Socratic method of inquiry. I remain fascinated by the tension between objective reality and the social constructs we build around it. Whether exploring the complexities of mental health, the enduring "nature versus nurture" debate, or the power of social support to drive human resilience, I am driven by the realization that "we don't know what we don't know."

Global Perspective & Future Vision

My passion for discovery is fueled by extensive travel and an enduring love for language. Every culture I encounter and every language I study offers a new lens through which to view human behavior. My ultimate vision is to make "lifework" more meaningful and relevant. I believe that by applying our experience with intentionality, we can create a more equitable, thoughtful, and better world for everyone.

My foundation remains clear and constant: I am a producer. Focused on purpose. Technology amplifies my potential.
