About

I live in Northern VA via Washington DC via Pittsburgh, PA, hail from Maine. I love being involved in the community and think you should as well–involved in the community, whether you love it or not is a choice you have to make; I blend my job with my community engagements so I don’t worry about the work/life balance if everything is just life, stream of consciousness and not linear and connected. I like connecting people to other people, opportunities and whatever else it might be they are looking to get connected to, as long as it’s on the up and up.* I am not a theory head, but I am deeply intellectual, but not in an insufferable way. I’m interested in race, culture, gender, politics, history.

I like bad jokes and I think everyone should know that about me.

I consider myself a hybrid socialist which means (for the most part, because so far as I’ve seen, no one can do this all the time): think to your highest ability, work to your highest ability, think about other people and how you can help them and take action to help them, enjoy the good parts about living in a capitalist society if you happen to do so, which I do and for me, that means using my disposable income to engage further in my community.
