my life started the 24th of May in 1978 to two young US Air Force officers. my father describes the day as if it was yesterday. in the scheme of things, no time has passed, and through countless moves, i matured into a politically active, bike riding, gentrifying hipster living in North Brooklyn.

as a gemini, i am constantly doing new and interesting things to impact the world. through the experiences, i have found myself immersed in a half-organic / half-cyberspace world. grounded in our biology and limited ideas of government, we are quickly venturing into a society of limited borders. like it or not our lives are dependent on global participation. i am blessed to have the opportunity to explore these new intersections, highways and footpaths.

while our future is unknown, change is a constant. in the spirt of the original scouting oath i took on the road to eagle, i will always do my best, to fulfill my duties to earth and help others at all times.

once there was at time when you could put a label to my name - now you can find me as an artist, a community organizer, an activist, a tour guide, a lifestyle consultant, a "blogger," a "vlogger," and even a citizen journalist. on the internet, you can find my handy work at...

• not an alternative, inc., a not-for-profit production collective that explores the intersection of art and activism in order to affect popular understandings of events, symbols and history.
• the change you want to see gallery and convergence stage, a multi-purpose venue for free and low-cost lectures, screenings, panel discussions, workshops and artist presentations. during the day it is a collaborative office space (aka coworking) for like minded cultural producers.
• luckofseven.com, a 21st century open-sourced travel project documenting free culture, social innovators and global change.
• taxinyc.tv, a two month exploration as a new york taxi cab driver.
• you can find my photos on flickr or on the dead the trees of the new york post, scoot quarterly, and scootering international.
  

from organizing to presenting, you will find me involved in numerous grassroots empowered conversations - from unconferences and meetups around the world to the British Council's TransAtlantic Network 2020 summit, to sessions at the salzburg seminar, to the lift conference in geneva, to Reboot in copenhagen, or conversations focused on journalism hosted by Transitions Online or Grupo de Diarios América (GDA) and the Andean Development Corporation.

currently, i help operate Not An Alternative, Inc., a non-profit arts collective in williamsburg brooklyn. for three short months during the summer of 2008, i worked as the community manager for Remix America before the project's budget was cut short. my former political clients include john kerry for president, new york state senate minority leaders office, cam kerry for massachusetts secretary of state, the new york state democratic senatorial campaign committee, state senator josé m. serrano, new york state senator andrea stewart-cousins, the assemble for rights nyc campaign, and norman siegel for nyc public advocate. in 2004, i was the technology coordinator for the democratic national convention.

i am noneck.
