About Me:

20+ year activist on human rights, international development, and environmental and public interest interests. Worked and lived (periodically) internationally, mostly in the former Soviet Union. More recently turned my view closer to home to focus on my new job as Associate Director of VPIRG and dedicate more of my time to animal rescue work.
