Welcome! While the primary goal of this site is to present and catalog my resume, writings and art, I hope it also becomes a cool place for dreaming, sharing, P2P education and frequent networking! 

Although I spent most of my career in Central New York, specifically the Syracuse and Ithaca area, with rewarding stops in California, Belize, and Vermont, I'm excited to be back in the Connecticut River Valley ("Pioneer Valley"), where I was born and raised. I've always had a deep connection to this beautiful and historic region and feel it's a perfect destination to continue my life, art and work.

 

Over the past few decades, my curiosity, ambition and entrepreneurial spirit has led me to take on a handful of critical roles in the conceptualization, design, and launch of numerous quality concepts into a diverse collection of mission - driven organizations, programs, initiatives and private ventures.

 

Admittedly, my CV reflects a fairly broad range of interests, passions and skill sets, yet at the end of the day, through creative place-making, my focus, talent and energy are (more often than not) fully committed to highlighting key issues touching on social, environmental, and economic justice.

I believe that the "community is the economy", and by encouraging people to think outside the box, to foster more collaboration, innovation and creativity, we can make positive changes in the world by enriching the cultural fabric of our community and committing to improving quality of life for all.
