I design companies and services in partnership with cities and nonprofits. Why? A belief that those in closest proximity to communities and their challenges are also best positioned to deliver on their solutions and opportunities. There is extraordinary will and intelligence in our communities worthy of innovation and investment. I'm a former homeless outreach worker, sleep lab tech, community organizer, arts instructor, campaign manager, PhD drop-out, nonprofit arts director, aspiring mechanic, public broadcasting executive, hip hop label founder and Bob's Seafood employee. Side hustles (lots) and academic gigs not listed.
