About Me

I am the recent father of twins and the co-founder of Changents - two of the most gratifying experiences of my life. There is power in potential. The potential I see in my infant children has no bounds. Likewise for Changents. Let's do some good together!

My Recent Comments

  • Jamie, great story from China. Thanks for raising the issue of Blame-China Syndrome. Good-on the citizens of Qingdao for putting their backs into the algae clean-up project. It sounds like this solution was found at the intersection of “something unpleasant happening in my backyard” and “someone whose opinion matters to me peering over my back fence.” What ever it takes, I guess! The equation in most places at this point seems to be Problem + Embarrassment = Action. While that gets things done, I wouldn’t call it the optimal go-forward model. What’s a better equation that’s going to get us back to 350?
  • Mike, this is great news. Clearly you're on to something that has struck a chord with people. Pls keep us posted as more supporters respond and your movement builds even more momentum. We want to stay tuned into your story.

  • Ro, thanks for the run down. Sounds frantic and fantastic. There is nothing more perfect for summer than a road trip with a group of buds. We are all living vicariously through you guys - mile by mile. Maybe next year you can hold a raffle for one week stints for people to join the fantasy. I'd gladly sacrifice a few sets of clothing to join the 3pm grease brigade for a few days!
