I grew up in PA and Oregon and have called New York home for a little over three years. Which is a long time for me to be in one place, but that seems a common trait here. This city rarely compromises and I love the individuality that ensues in these tight spaces. I am blessed with true and talented friends and a big strong family. And I would like to do something that matters.

Smart people with a boatload of cash and a bone to pick with public schools. I'm trying to raise money for a film highlighting the fundamental conflict between standardization and education, and that ends up being an argument for decentralization of the public education system. Or just people who shoot pool and drink beer.
