As a social entrepreneur, I’ve co-founded five entities—including EarthCorps, in 1993 in Seattle—and I've joined three others in their early phases. My work worldwide has focused on youth leadership development, environmental restoration and digital inclusion, with a particular affinity for bringing together young adults to work in global teams: 1980’s - I started the decade serving in the Peace Corps, teaching young people in rural Honduras and Chile, and I ended the decade helping lead a Seattle nonprofit that launched a model of a US-Soviet Peace Corps in Ethiopia. 1990’s - I founded EarthCorps, the world's first international youth conservation corps. Now celebrating it’s 31st year, EarthCorps has engaged some 1200 young adults from 80 nations, along with 200,000 volunteers in western Washington State, to help restore key ecological sites around Puget Sound. 2000’s - Several EarthCorps alumni and I launched World Corps (which later became a for-profit social venture, OneRoof) to help bridge the digital divide in the global South, by training and assisting teams of young entrepreneurs and developing software for small business owners. 2010’s - I co-founded Collabriv to bring early-career professionals to the San Francisco Bay Area and engage them in paid, team-based internships, Master’s-level leadership course work, and mentorships with Bay Area entrepreneurs.
