Über mich

CURRENT MISSION

To create an economy where happiness is a currency

ABOUT ME

Just got done working on the Obama Campaign in Rural Pennsylvania and headed to DC to explore post-campaign job prospects. Previous to that worked as a union organizer in Los Angeles, West Virginia, Michigan, and Ohio. Previous to that lived for a year and half in Brasil on the challanges of college educated community organizers in working class communities.

In short, Im a community organizer who loves living and making life better through my work and looking to crash on a couch near you.
