We Are Open Co-op

DOES ANYONE READ THIS STUFF?

Biography Basics.

I’m a generalist and a specialist. An open strategist. A facilitator. A writer. A technologist. An intellectual multipod. A skater. I’m a lot of things. I create bridges where community, technology and learning meet up.

I work with Greenpeace quite a bit. I spent over 5 years at Mozilla. I am a founding member of the We Are Open Co-op. I’ve failed at a start-up and succeeded at earning a Masters in Media & Education. I write books and make stuff.

I mostly work at trying to make the world a better, cleaner, more equitable place. I like decentralization and distributed leadership.

Stuff I write.
