I am an organizer. I help people to express their dignity and fight for a better life.

I have worked as: community organizer with low-income residents to improve their neighborhoods.

systems change advocate assisting people with disabilities seeking an independent and accessible life

volunteer recruiter for programs operating in a maximum security prison.

In nearly 30 years of experience, I have:

taught civic leadership skills and strategic planning to grassroots people.

organized public meetings, marches, rallies, and protests.

written speeches, press releases and policy studies

created video and online websites.

In my personal life, I love to take long walks with my wife and two doggies around our Syracuse, N.Y. home. I am a Tramp, born to run. I also believe that heaven is located somewhere above Fenway Park's Green Monster.
