I've worked in the nonprofit sector most of my adult life with about ten years on the tech side. I've helped to organize and run sessions for two national nonprofit tech conferences. Lately I've been focusing on digital privacy & bodywork.

In addition to being a native speaker of American English, I speak Spanish & French fluently. I understand some Russian and German and know a couple hundred words in another half dozen languages.

I have extensive experience as a trainer & workshop facilitator over the last 30 years in a wide variety of topics: politics, emotional support, health education, pain management, sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment. I've moderated online discussions and taught at conferences & retreat centers. I really enjoy seeing light bulbs go off over people's heads.

I follow a paleo ketogenic diet mostly based on the ideas of Dr Patricia Wahls. There are the usual diet charlatans out there but she is an MD following the latest nutrition science.

I like direct authentic honest constructive feedback and true specific believable compliments.

I love to hike, sing, play improv games & chess, and read sci-fi.
