Why community?

We always have one thing in common, we are all becoming something.

I see myself as a compassionate community organizer who looks to best allocate the resources of any size community or group.
All of the resources I need or that you need to solve complex problems are at the fingertips of any community. I bring those hands together.

Why creativity?

Issues and opportunities are complex.
Creative solutions that involve all stakeholders are necessary. I keep the spirit and soul of many in mind. This encourages creative solutions that include ownership.

I discover new ways to turn multiple visions into practical reality using my cultural, social, business and economic knowledge.

Music builds community, share a song with me and you just might see it in a post, tweet, training, exercise, or with my non-profit Community Records Foundation.

Let me know how you might think it would build community, comradeship, or get people together.

When the end is just the beginning

I’ve just finished my class “Social Web for Social Change,” an elective at my progressive MBA program here at Bainbridge Graduate Institute. First and foremost, I am a social being (we all kinda are) and my generation’s upbringing leaves me destined to being online. This influence doesn’t not leave me. So while the class is [...]

Managing my head - context, learning, and emotion

Today I realized something obvious, or I assume obvious, that how my head seems to feel like it is functioning is very related to the things I’m doing in my life.
Intention takes time
I mean this more deeply and probably structurally as well. As I close out my semester, I begin to think about how I’ve [...]

Community by the Numbers, Summary

Christopher Allen over at Life With Alacrity, who also happens to be my instructor, wrote a great series called “Community by the Numbers” which I’ve summarized here. I thought the information was a perfect fit.
If a community is too small you’ll often have insufficient critical mass to sustain it. Conversely, if it’s too large you [...]

Organizing Your Own Social Web - Mindmap Etc

A while back I mentioned that I would share a map or something describing how I’ve organized myself online. Part of the reason why I never got to completing the post was that I never got around to completing the process.
There is a lot of information to manage out there. One thing is for [...]

The old (new) messy history (present) of change offline (online)

This past summer started (and nearly finished) an anthology called “Tribal and Peasant Economies: Reading in Economic Anthropology” (Edited by George Dalton). It’s from the late 60’s, the examples all seemed very male-centric, and there is a clear anthropological misstep in perspective. “Primitive” seems to be the term used most to describe these other economies [...]
