I am:

Director of the Groundswell Place-Based Education movement // CEO of Switchback Gear Exchange // Founder of TeachInspired.com (a new project, launch pending) // Board member for Summer Journeys // Resident of Grand Rapids, Michigan (a damn cool state).

I do:

Professional development in place-based education // independent curriculum consulting // vintage and used outdoor equipment appraisal and sales // grant writing // leadership training // writing (albeit poorly) // partnership forming.

I love:

my wife // the outdoors // biking // my dogs // building things from wood // teaching others // making a difference in the communities I work within // changing the status quo.
