I'm a radical politics geek who loves trips, twitter, beatniks and boardgames. I need at least 8 hours of sleep and 2 cups of coffee a day. Vegetarian, Merry Prankster, Ravenclaw.

I grew up in New Hampshire and went to school in New York City. Now I'm the cofounder of an environmental nonprofit based in New Hampshire.

I want to contribute to the development of a just and sustainable future for people on Earth, while exploring all the wildness and weirdness out there. In 10 years I'd like to have ink sleeves, in 20 years I'd like to build a tiny home, and in 30 years I'd like to be an Olympic gold metal freestyle hoverboarder.
