Our ability as a species to solve the complex problems we face will require a dramatic increase in commitment to education reform. Through his foundation, Seth supports education at all levels, from post-secondary institutions to local schools, to charitable organizations supporting novel solutions to upgrading the level of K-12 education and civic knowledge in general. Seth's interest in education was cultivated at an early age by his mother, Lorraine, a career special education teacher, and his father, Gerald, a Ph.D. in Social Welfare and a college professor. Both parents fostered a commitment to others, emphasizing the importance of advocacy and the need to give back.

He has mentored colleagues now holding senior positions at large corporations, foundations, and non-profit enterprises. Seth has trained in a range of leadership modalities over the last twenty years. He continues to expand his leadership capabilities to continue training and developing others.
