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.

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.

If a community is too small you’ll often have insufficient critical mass to sustain it. Conversely, if it’s too large you [...]

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 [...]

Learning How to Share - A Dichotic Tension

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 [...]

Comparing Online vs. Offline

Tonight was a good night of work at the theater. It all went by quickly. This was due to jovial conversation, joking, and comradeship. Just fun. The tips were good and I didn’t seem to have much on my mind.
When I got home, of course after going out for a beer, stress via my living [...]
