Building resilience for an ecological future.

After years of various explorations, I'm tending to my roots in my home city of Portland. I have a day job as a server at a brunch spot. My "weekends" and evenings are spent immersing myself in local movements for social and climate justice. I'm involved in a few projects: City Repair, an organization that facilitates community resiliency through creative placemaking projects (http://www.cityrepair.org), I am a core organizer for a large Burning Man theme camp, and I am getting started with a group project that is collaborating on building a framework to create new and more effective resource streams to aid in our transition into a collaboration-based economy. This is through: http://www.communitysupportedeverything.org
