I work on digital product strategy for National Public Radio (NPR). As part of the Digital Services division, I run the Product team.

I have a passion for conceiving and exploring novel ideas, as evidenced by a flurry of personal projects. I am a founding Trustee of the Awesome Foundation. I created the news trend/archive mash-up NPRbackstory and helped conceive and launch the Public Radio Tuner iPhone application. I have a successfully-funded Kickstarter Project, Open Business Cards that has sourced and opened up a CC-licensed background image library.

I launched the online community engagement software Public Action in 2006 that's been deployed in over 20 U.S. public broadcasting markets and for the nationally syndicated shows Car Talk and PRI's The World.

I also helped champion VRM at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, led by Doc Searls, where I created ListenLog, an open-source personal data tracking platform.

I am a contributing author for the book Collective Intelligence: Creating a Prosperous World at Peace. I have also published articles on innovation and strategy.

I noodle with DIY electronics, including an unrealized dream to create mobile, hackable communications platforms while trying to encourage software developers to embrace them as an alternative to the PC or the proprietary cell phone.

I also nurse a few wacky beliefs, like that we create the most value when we're having fun, and the best source of innovation comes from technologies and environments that encourage and inspire and not through linear problem solving.

Surprisingly, this is all related. Someday I'll draw a picture to prove it.
