About me

Start at the core, and work outward.

With academic training in religion, ethics, & politics and experience organizing against the prison-industrial complex, I’ve thought a lot about people’s values & the conflict created by moral differences. 

The future we make is bright.

While many seek superficial “quick fixes” by oversimplifying tough dynamics, the only viable future I see comes via brave & resilient community building.
