Bio
I taught humanities programs in high schools and developed curriculum for 8 years and found myself more and more interested in revolutionary and disruptive educational models--and the hard technical skills it takes to jumpstart them. My long term plan is to design a school that is based on the model of a city in miniature, growing and scaling its productive, legislative, political, and artistic platforms. For now I am retraining in fabrication, welding, and design both to help me with the minimum viable product for this school concept (which I see as agricultural products), and because of a personal goal to build my own sailboat.
