About
I am the executive director of Ag Innovations Network, based in Sebastopol, CA. My personal mission is to support individuals, organizations, and communities unlock the potential for positive change towards a healthier and more vibrant society through careful dialogue and respectful exchange of views.
I believe we can help create a society that reflects our best hopes and desires by:
- Taking a wide view that considers both root systems and tip symptoms
- Protecting the interests of the future as much as those of the present
- Working to enable our communities and organizations to deeply know themselves
- Revealing deep assumptions that block creative change
- Bringing compassion to every situation we encounter.
I work primarily as a facilitator multi-stakeholder collaborations grappling with the question of how to make the food system sustainable. I am the primary facilitator for the Ag Futures Alliance movement in California.
I have a broad background that includes leading both non and for-profit organizations, study of steady-state economics (MA, U. of Rhode Island), and organizational/social change (MA organization development, Sonoma State U.). Mainly I try to live the spirit attributed to Mother Teresa: "to do small things with great love..."

"What is essential is invisible to the eye."
Thanks for the nudge to read this book.
See you next week!
