In addition to serving the local community through volunteer leadership, a number of projects and personal passions help to fill my free hours in the day.

Leveraging a wide array of public speaking experience, I draw upon both religious and secular traditions to construct personalized, meaningful ceremonies that beautifully illustrate shared lives united in love. With experience in drafting scripts, consulting on vows, and presiding over the ceremony itself, I always look forward in helping couples find memorable ways to express their story.

Interested in my services? I'd love to help; just take a look at the Weddings section of this site.

Musical performance

In keeping with my love of voice and performance, I regularly sing as either a Baritone or Tenor with the All Souls Choir at All Souls Church, Unitarian, in Washington, DC. Engaging in styles both classical and contemporary and from a wide range of cultural traditions, I always look forward to playing a small part in creating a beautiful experience with my fellow singers.

Sci fi Policy

"Sci Fi Policy" grew from a series of conversations with a pair of friends. We share professional and personal interests in driving a more forward-thinking conversation in policy development, seeking to address legal and societal issues of both the technologies we can see coming and of those that we can only imagine. By highlighting relevant works and placing policy-makers and authors into dialogue with one another, we hope to promote a vision of tomorrow that embraces and shapes the changes to come, rather than merely responding after the face.
