More About Me

I'm passionate about

The future of retail, youth-led development, seeing the world's master works in person, 826CHI, education, non-touristy travel, metalsmithing, GIVING MORE, EXPECTING LESS!

An idea worth spreading

My life changed when I heard Dave Egger's wish at my first TED in 2008 and decided to help fulfill it. Your local public schools need you!

Talk to me about

The future of Retail, 826CHI, what it was like to be an American living in the USSR in 1989, art, Burning Man, my two years of playing Annie and how TED has changed my life
