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.

By: Justin - October 30, 2009, at 12:30 am

Is it love from my parents? Should I have been coddled more? Communities form around sharing of some kind, the mutual fellowship or shared experience. I often question my ability to contribute to the communities I am in. This is especially unclear in how casually the word community can be used. Even Wikipedia states that [...]

Hard souls find broken wings: lose-lose government spending on abstinence

By: Justin - June 24, 2008, at 10:16 am

The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies [...]
