The Vernacularist

Fighting bad puns, leaping over tall mental roadblocks in a single bound.

I was born in 1976 in New York City. My stomping grounds were the Upper West Side of Manhattan. My favorite memory of highschool is sitting on the islands of Park Avenue late on a weekday night and watching the cars blast past.

I've been fortunate enough to go to some great schools:
• Eaglebrook Boarding School
• Trinity High School
• Wesleyan University

Traveling has been a on-again, off-again habit for me for some time. Checked off this list so far is: Most of the U.S, Most of Europe, China, Cuba, Mexico. Many places left...I've got some time.

I've worked for some fantastic organizations. The TCC Group taught me about what it meant to be professional and how to think strategically. The Twin Towers Fund was a way for me to give back to the city that took great care of me. Howard Dean's campaign was the single greatest risk I've ever taken, and certainly rewarded me handsomely since I met some lifelong friends.

After making a short pass through Barack Obama's senate campaign, I landed at EchoDitto, a consulting firm that does online community building, fundraising and advocacy for nonprofits, political organizations and businesses.

Currently, I'm a getting my MBA at NYU.
