About Me

Some of my earliest memories are of taking minutes with crayons during housing co-op meetings. I didn't fully grasp what quorum meant, but I knew decisions mattered and that if you wanted something to change, you had to get involved.

I've spent most of my life trying to fix things that feel too broken to ignore. I've spent most of my working life in decentralized and cause oriented work. From co-ops to climate justice campaign, facilitating grant programs for open-source tools and dedicating myself to supporting Indigenous sovereignty, I've worked across movements to shift culture, influence policy, and build systems that work and last.

I've been in political party leadership, I've been a campaigner, a comms director, and a strategist for public interest groups of all shapes and size. I've helped distribute millions in funding for climate action and digital infrastructure, and I still think the best ideas often start with someone asking: What if we just didn't do that and we did this instead?

I facilitate most of my work these days through Elephant Room Campaigns and Communications which evolved out of the Great Climate Race running even and peer-to-peer crowdfunding application.

I care a lot about infosec, OSINT, decentralized governance, and the weird ways power hides in plain sight. I believe in memes as weapons of culture shift, in protocols over platforms, and in laughter as a survival skill.

These days, among other things, I'm writing a novel called The Monkey Flower Experiment. It's fiction, technically but also a blueprint, a warning, and a love letter to everyone I've watching building something beautiful in the metaphorical ruins. This book has been a labour of love off the side of my desk for many years.

And yeah, I'm Canadian. So I am obliged to apologize at least once while you read this, sorry about that. Anyways, thanks for dropping by, best way to connect with me is probably just to reach out on Bluesky or any of my other social accounts.
