A little about myself.

Picture
 Artwork by Chen Reichert  
I love helping people understand each other.

I've worked as a teacher, a cultural event organizer, and a leadership communication trainer. I was also in a musical sketch comedy troupe, where I learned to do a kick-line in high-heels.

I grew up in and around Philadelphia so I know where to go for good cheesesteaks, but I'm much more passionate about soft pretzels. 

At six-foot-three I am the shortest male in my family. Being the shortest tall man has shaped the way I see the world.
