Hello!

Looking for a little background, eh?…

Of course, all of this is just the external, but take it for what it is:

I’m currently the director and editor of Cleantechnica.com and Planetsave.com. I’m also Publishing Services Manager at Important Media. You can find my work all over the internet, including on Scientific American, Reuters, and Change.org. (I also teach English part-time in Poland.)

I have a B.A. in environmental studies and sociology (from New College of Florida, the Honors College of Florida) and a Master’s in city and regional planning (from UNC-Chapel Hill).

For the past few years, I have been a professional green blogger and English teacher in Poland. Before that, I was the Executive Director of a non-profit organization promoting sustainable development and clean transportation, an urban research consultant, worked in government positions (in city planning and environmental education), and worked in natural foods stores (ranging from small co-op markets to corporate giant Whole Foods Market).

I currently live in Wroclaw (Poland), but have also lived in Groningen (the Netherlands), Sarasota & Bradenton (Florida), Chapel Hill & Carrboro (North Carolina), Sunnyvale (California), Ithaca (New York), and Charlottesville (Virginia).
