ABOUT
I’ve been self-publishing my writing for 20 years, and I can’t imagine a life without blogs and newsletters and diy zines. In late 2023, I launched a newsletter exploring the overlap and intersection of my professional and personal interest in housing, neighborhoods, small cities and more.

I’m the executive director of Habitat for Humanity Capital District in Albany, NY, an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. I have overseen the construction or rehabilitation of 70 homes since 2015, bringing the organization's total to 174 homes built and sold at an affordable price to first-time homeowners since 1988. Unless otherwise noted, the thoughts I share here reflect my own opinions, not those of the Habitat for Humanity network.
During my tenure, Habitat for Humanity has invested over $17 million into building and rehabbing homes in New York’s Capital District, particularly in the neighborhoods that have been harmed most by housing discrimination and disinvestment. We have kept the issue of safe, decent and affordable housing at the forefront of our local public discourse. I am committed to addressing the interconnected challenges of poverty, inequality, systemic racism, environmental exploitation and the myth of individualism in our communities.
I live with my family in Albany, New York. You can find my professional bio here. Get in touch by email, if you’d like.
