As a builder, I am dedicated to fostering growth in individuals, organizations, and communities.
Join me in exploring innovative ways to create positive change in our world.
I Build People, Companies, & Communities That Do Well By Doing Good
I’m a San Francisco–based builder, former Naval officer, educator, and impact strategist. This site is where I share how I think—about politics, economics, history, community development, personal development, and the practical steps anyone can take to create change.
