Biography
I'm a student of counseling at CIIS in San Francisco California. I live in the Mission with my man and our two sons. I've worked as a community organizer and social entrepreneur most of my life. I founded City CarShare (www.citycarshare.org) in 2001, along with my two best friends. Since then I helped to found another company (www.streetlinenetworks.com) & I've worked on traffic calming/bike lane issues in the Mission. I'm originally from Boston, and I went to Antioch College for my undergraduate work.
