About
I am the executive director of Ag Innovations Network, based in Sebastopol, CA. My personal mission is to support the "Great Turning" from an industrial to a sustainable society through facilitating transformative dialogues between often polarized parts of our communities.
I believe we can help create a life-supporting society 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

- Bringing compassion to every situation we encounter.

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..."
