Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm interested in finding ways to share, love and learn. I hope to achieve more clarity, and better identify my path of service. I hope to learn to use service as a forum for integrating personal and community values.
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. After starting at the Univ. of PA, I graduated from the University of Arizona, with a major in Business and a minor in Vocal/Choral Music. I worked in the fields of Accounting, Management Systems Consulting, and Marketing Management for over ten years, before concluding that the "business" path was less than fulfilling. During that time, I served on several Boards of Directors for local non-profit organizations.
Since leaving the corporate/professional life, I've been involved in education, research, training, and work in the fields of community organization, alternative health, organizational development, spirituality, and sustainable culture. I've spent time traveling and living in several places around the U.S. and Mexico, as well as running a financial management business with my father.
I've lived and worked in numerous "intentional" communities('communes'), while exploring my opportunities for self-development and possible relocation. I've volunteered in numerous situations, wherever I've lived, supporting the activities of organizational development, human services, teaching, nature/environmental affairs, and fundraising.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in the basic goodness of all beings.
