If something here made you think, “we are dealing with this too,” that is enough of a reason to write.
I am interested in difficult public problems, especially the ones that sit between disciplines, institutions, and job descriptions. You do not need to arrive with a polished scope of work.
Start here
Tell me enough to understand the shape of it.
A few sentences is plenty. If a particular essay, framework, project, or argument brought you here, the site will carry that context into your note automatically.
Ways to work together
Invite me to speak
For conferences, plenaries, workshops, panels, classrooms, and rooms that need a sharper conversation about public service, advocacy, trauma, power, care, or civic life.
Bring me into a problem
For institutions, coalitions, campaigns, and public-interest teams dealing with systems that are fragmented, difficult to measure, difficult to implement, or failing the people moving through them.
Collaborate on research or practice
For researchers, practitioners, funders, and public institutions interested in early-stage models, applied research, pilots, measurement, or cross-system work.
Talk about a role or long-term engagement
For organizations looking for someone who can move between strategy, research, implementation, public systems, and the operational reality underneath the plan.
Useful context
A good first note is short.
Tell me what you are working on, what made you reach out, and what kind of conversation you think might be useful. You do not need a polished proposal, scope of work, or perfectly named problem.
I am based in Ohio and work across public service, nonprofit, civic, research, advocacy, and institutional settings.
