Bridging Our Divide

I helped found and served on the board of a non-profit that facilitated conversations across social, political, and cultural divides. I got to talk to the Proud Boys and Antifa as they rallied against each other here in Portland. Fascinating times.


Crosshatch Creative

I started this web dev and marketing agency and ran it for 7 years. It has all but disappeared since I sold my book of business, except for this epitaph. Rest in power.
