About me

I was born in the early 80s. I grew up in Texas and moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington when I was about 20. I got a chemistry degree and then I went to visit North India for a few months because I think that area will be a major destination for outsourcing chemistry research within my life, and I wanted to expand my job opportunities.

In 2008-9 I worked as a research assistant in a clinical trial in a study sponsored by the United States National Institute on Drug Abuse and managed by the University of Washington. For fun I volunteer in health-related projects, particularly those that involve interventions related to sex or drug use. I am a supporter of community services and resources, particularly educational and cultural programs. After that I began looking at ways to increase science and health communication with new media platforms, and have been working in health communication.

I am always looking for people to volunteer with me. If you are reading this site and you see anything that interests you, then write me and I will help you get involved in anything I do. I grew up without a lot of opportunities, but for some reason I started volunteering for all kinds of projects and the experience I got by joining social organizations propelled my understanding far beyond my natural intellect and abilities. I am interested in hearing from any activists, but these are some volunteer areas in which I have worked. Each one of these represents a different project:

• open science
• community organizing
• knowledge metadata
• popular science
• appreciation of modern art
• city-based community building
• community access to legal services
• clinical trials
• services for the homeless, especially youth
• harm reduction related to drug use
• religious services for non-religious, non-spiritual people
• civil rights for oppressed persons

My primary interests revolve around things that people freely gave to me in Seattle, and I count moving out of Texas to a metropolitan area as being the single best decision I ever made for myself. Most of my interests only came to be because of what I became after moving to Seattle. Everything on the list above is something that I continually pursue at least monthly and have for years. Note also that all of these things are things that only happen because of volunteer networks; there are very few viable business models that can sustain any of these things in a community.
