We Are Open Co-op

I work independently on a variety of creative endeavors and enjoy working through We Are Open Co-op on complex client projects. The co-op members are crazy smart and overall fantastic humans. They’ve called me a “tech wizard”, “creative genius” and “expert facilitator”.

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.

  • [FBT] on Play and Purity
    Maybe I’m hypernormalised For years, I hinted to my family and friends that all I really wanted for my birthday (any birthday!) was a choreographed group dance routine.
