About Me

So, most people probably know by now that Jacqui and I are back in Charlottesville, Virginia. In a very fortunate turn of events over the past three months, I have been given the opportunity to help launch Environment Virginia. Environment Virginia is a state-based environmental advocacy organization that is committed to protecting open spaces, clean air, clean water, and fighting global warming. As part of the Environment America federation we are currently working to strengthen the Boxer-Warner-Lieberman global warming bill, and shift America away from dirty energy sources towards a clean energy future.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is working to create positive social and environmental change.
