CURRENT MISSION

I'm interested in figuring out how to counteract current trends that replace innovation and creativity with apathy and consumption.

ABOUT ME

I am an Educator, Artist, and Community Builder. I act with an improv theatre group, consult on the use of the Arts in classrooms, coordinate the non-profit arts organization, The Transformative Language Arts Network, research and write on the use of language to shift experience, and study at a Divinity School in Rochester, NY.

I like to think of myself as a pragmatic idealist, so while I dream big, I also focus on the nitty-gritty. I've had business training in management and marketing, have done a bit of work in municipal community development, and like to constantly learn new things and skills.

Teach, Learn, Share

An appreciation of poetry.

A postmodern way to think about faith that isn't narrow-minded, doesn't try to convert anyone, and is more interested in encouraging people to discover who they are than forcing them to be what they're not.
