I believe a better world is possible through revolutionary change, like diversifying our media, thinking more creatively, and honestly addressing systemic problems of poverty and racism.  I enjoy good urban planning, making media, and bicycle riding.

Currently, I’ve been following street-crossing culture via Intersection 911, finalizing production work on Shout Magic’s Plenty, collaborating musically with DJ Ian Head & Natalia Serna, developing a new Chief City Recordings site based on Drupal, and planning more bike tours.  I am a freelance media developer via BOZZmedia.

After spending the last four years in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I’ve recently relocated to Portland, Oregon. I am originally from New York.

I’m interested in creating music, especially with visual artists, and that’s what Chief City Recordings is shaping into. I have created music within Shout Magic, Grubstake, Cocoon and a variety of other bands.

I have worked within communities in North Philly & Camden, training youth and adults in media-making and trying to learn as much as I can.  I especially enjoy music production and media literacy, but most of all I enjoy helping others be heard.  I have created media with Indymedia, young journalists, and passionate community organizers.

I enjoy talking about media justice, equal access to education, grassroots journalism, group relations, delicious food, and collaborative creativity.
