How did I become a lecturer in one of the most prestigious medical universities in Japan, when I failed all of my school examinations, and left school at 17 virtually illiterate?

The story of my life reflects much of what is wrong with education today, as it did when I was a child. The answer to the above question is presented in the accompanying five books.

The writing of these books, and the 20 years of research that went behind them, was given impetus when I overheard a teacher remark how stupid the children were in his class. The children, I interrupted him, were not stupid. It was simply that they did not understand what he meant. The teacher responded by telling me there was nothing wrong with the way he taught, and that his students were more or less born the way he marked and so graded them. The problem is that the teacher did not understand what I meant.

It was to explain what intelligence is, how it develops, and why it is not what we think it is that I devoted 20 years in research to produce these now six books.

The danger, and our failing in this, is that we do not realise that the ways we educate children today are based on a modified design that is 100 years out of date.

Very simple, we do not now educate our children for the kind of world they will most likely live and work in.

I now travel as much as I can about the world demonstrating the new system of teaching I have designed, and show the need to change the curriculum.

We need to teach children how to think the moment they enter the school system, so that we can help them leave with higher grades and a greater understanding of their responsibility first to themselves, then their society and then to our planet. For it is these children that will make the decisions that will affect later generations.

For my part, I would briefly explain here that two years after I had left school, as a complete failure, I went back into education, and after three years of study passed all of 14 examinations with an average pass of 96%. Having qualified with distinction as an electronics engineer, and noted as the best student in my first year, I went to sea and so through a host of experiences of people, countries, jobs, and life.

Born and raised in West Philadelphia and currently residing in Southern California, Nareg’s humble approach and passionate drive are some of the markups within his DNA. An endless student in many aspects of life, Nareg is always striving on “how to make it better” using both conventional and unconventional approaches to problem-solving.

Nareg started his career eight years ago as a hardware and software tech with Apple Computers. After about 3 years with Apple, he left and co-founded Entrance Studios, a video/marketing based startup company. Entrance Studios collaborated with many early stage startup companies in developing different types of online marketing campaigns--this enabled Nareg to collaborate with many teams and learn different types of strategies through more than one perspective.

To date, Nareg has been involved in developing nearly 20 different types of startup companies and non-profit organizations - both in the US and abroad. Within the last few years Nareg has held positions within SaaS-based startup companies serving as CTO, COO, business development, a consultant and providing mentorship.

Armenia is also a significant part of Nareg’s identity. His ancestral homeland became a place where he would spend a few months at a time during his college years volunteering for non-profit organizations. Throughout the years Armenia also would become one of Nareg's most favorite vacation destinations. Naturally he always dreamed Armenia would one day be an extension of his professional career - into years down the road this idea becoming a reality. Since 2012, Nareg has invested much of his time both in and out of Armenia advising and consulting both for-profit and non-profit organizations.

Stay true, never get old, and always be passionate is what Nareg lives by. This reminder has helped achieve many milestones both in his professional and personal life. When Nareg is taking a break from work he's either planning a trip, surfing the web, playing the guitar, barbecuing, or taking photographs. The collection of images seen below are some of Nareg's most recently edited photographs.
