Solutions for resiliency and empowerment

 It takes all of us.  

What would you like done?

Thank you for stopping by; I look forward hearing your great ideas and how we’ll leave this place better than we found it.

I was born in Philly, raised in the midwest, schooled in New Orleans and educated in Portland. Aside from an extended stay in Copenhagen, I have called the City of Roses home since 1996.

When away from my laptop, I’m either at one of our boys’ sporting events or knee deep into a project. And when I can get away completely, I prefer playing with gear over games.

As an early adopter, including microbrewing in the mid 90’s, sustainable investments in the early 2000’s and solar in the mid 2000’s, it’s been a joy to see these industries flourish.
