Organizer - Advocate - Trainer - Coach - Educator

I support groups and individuals to:

• Develop leadership

• Tell stories that move others to take action

• Build high-performing teams

• Grow powerful organizations

• Design effective strategies

• Fundraise

• Win labor, legislative, and electoral campaigns

Over fifteen years, I've led successful organizing campaigns to win change at the local, state, and national levels, and I've trained thousands of diverse workers and leaders worldwide to build power. I've worked closely with many types of groups including:

• Public and private sector labor unions

• Elected officials

• Formerly incarcerated people

• Political candidates

• Veterans

• Worker cooperatives

• Faith-based groups

• Environmentalists

• Graduate, undergraduate, and high school students

• Immigrants

• Tribal governments
   

As a Teaching Fellow, I've taught several leadership courses at Harvard and Stanford for graduate and undergraduate students. I have a Master in Public Administration from Harvard University, but most of my learning comes from collaborating with everyday working class people to create change across the United States.

Democracy isn't a spectator sport. It requires an organized and engaged base of people capable of strategic analysis, effective decision-making, and collective action. It also requires electing leaders who put people over profits, and building mechanisms to hold each other accountable to our values. I work with others who are interested in strengthening people power and deepening our democracy.

I live in Sacramento, CA with my amazing wife and our adorable dog. I also speak French and Spanish.
