I've been on CS since 2008 and had some amazing experiences. I've met some of my best friends through CS, have always had good times, and even found help during difficult times thanks to the CS community. During this time, I have lived in Seattle, San Francisco, and Paris.

I've worked in local government, on political campaigns, and in the nonprofit world. Most recently, I founded a nonprofit to help renters and houseless neighbors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met my wife in a tiny city in Normandy completely by accident (the best experience of my life).

Additionally, every Friday I get a chance to talk to and work with Seattle's houseless population.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk your ear off about roasting espresso or probably socialism too.
