A few things I work on:
Program Design: At Up & Up Creative, our incredible team takes on unique projects in need of high-level event design, curation, & production. Let us know if you have an event coming up and want to explore collaboration.
Summit Impact: I spent most of the past decade overseeing programming @Summit and in 2020 I spun out the partner 501(c)(3) Summit Impact. As founder turned board member, I steward programs that support rising leaders to create a regenerative and equitable future. See our recent Annual Report here, and a few honest reflections from my time as founding ED posted here.
Business Coaching: Part by chance, earlier this year I began coaching a few friends on setting strategic objectives and following through on their most important business goals. Be in touch if you’d like to learn more and see if I can support your work in 2024.
Brain-Share Email Newsletter: As part of the Harvard Mind, Brain, and Education graduate program I studied the aspects of neuroscience, psychology, and social cognition that support effective learning in group contexts. While in school I started sharing an irregular email newsletter about the neuroscience of learning with family, friends, and other brain-science nerds out there. Re-launching soon.

Teaching Meditation: I teach mindfulness and meditation, primarily on silent retreats and virtual courses. Most often as faculty with Or HaLev, and with an orientation toward connecting to Jewish mysticism and tradition.
Words I live by
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
“But art and ideas come out of the passion and torment of experience: it is impossible to have a real relationship to the first if one’s aim is to be protected from the second.”
“Friendship is so weird. You pick out a random human and you’re like this one. I want to go on adventures with this one.”
“Stay soft. It looks beautiful on you. ”
