As a youth, John Sorensen heard the call to venture into outer space and followed that calling for 45 years of engineering design, corporate management, and entrepreneurial experiences. His early career was devoted to spacecraft and rocket engineering including trajectory design for astronaut Moon landing. He later transitioned to air transportation systems technology development and thereafter led over 100 design projects for US government agencies, manufacturers, and airline clients. During this period, he authored/co-authored hundreds of technical papers, articles, and reports.
In 2005, John heard another, deeper calling – time to re-invent and dedicate himself to humanitarian service. This led to John following the hero’s journey of stepping into the unknown, seeking how to manifest that calling. In 2014 that journey of self-discovery resulted in John co-founding what is now Elders Action Network (EAN – www.eldersaction.org ). Via EAN, John is a passionate supporter of social and environmental justice activism, including comprehensive efforts to combat the threats of climate disruption and the destruction of our American democracy. In addition to EAN leadership, John supports external causes directed at local regenerative community transformation and inner personal growth.
