About Bill Lauritzen:
Sir Arthur C. Clarke, inventor of the communications satellite called Bill Lauritzen “some kind of genius.” Harry Kroto, Nobel Prize winner, invited him to present his ideas at the first international conference on the buckminsterfullerene molecule. Bill invented a new number system, designed a modern-day Stonehenge, called SpaceHenge, and wrote a paper explaining the value of geodesic domes. He also wrote a book about the origins of science and mythology, The Invention of God. For a free copy of the book, click here.
He is a graduate of the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and received a master's degree from Purdue in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. At the Air Force Academy, Bill graduated near the top of his class, and was named the Outstanding Graduate in Behavioral Sciences and the Outstanding Graduate in Philosophy. In the Air Force he helped design high-speed jet cockpits as a usability engineer. He has taught extensively in the inner city of Los Angeles, at Otis College of Art and Design, at Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, and at Columbia College Hollywood. He was also ranked by Swim Magazine in the Top Ten in the World in master's swimming. Please contact us for speaking engagements or consulting.
