Since 1966, METCO has gone against the tide of segregation, connecting families of color with predominantly white suburbs around Boston. As the organization's first Director of Communications, Outreach, & Engagement, I helped spread the inspiring stories of the thousands of students, parents, and teachers who are transformed by the chance to learn together, while our society continues to distribute opportunity inequitably.

I've since spoken at Walt Disney Animation Studios and DisneyToon Studios, Families First, Concord Academy, Needham Diversity Initiative/World of Wellesley, Brookline Adult Education Speaker Series, and more.My second TED talk asks whether Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey," at least in the form we see it in popular entertainment, is really a guide for a good life.In my third TED talk, I follow the questions about white male overrepresentation in our society to their logical conclusion: to what extent have I absorbed the myth of privilege?

Played multiple roles in the finally-closed off-Broadway production of this musical revue. Achieved the dream of going to work every day through a stage door. Learned that, contrary to common understanding, one does not escape monotony by succeeding as an actor; performing the same show every night for 18 months defines monotony.

Played Edmund in "Lear," Frank in "Merrily," Bobby in "Company," Lorenzo and Gobbo in two different "Merchant"s, Perchik in "Fiddler," Paris in "Romeo & Juliet," one of the sailors in "On the Town," a tree in at least three different children's theatre productions, a pirate/policeman/maiden in "Pirates of Penzance," myself in a cabaret, and Dubya in "The Passion of George W.
