As President of Pathfinder Communications, I work simultaneously on a wide variety of issues ranging from helping companies to become more socially responsible to promoting greater self-goverance at the local level. I feel I have a unique background in grassroots activism that allows me to serve as a bridge between different stakeholders . While trained as a print journalist, my portfolio of services has recently expanded to include stakeholder engagement exercises, event organizing, publicity and management (including entertainment and food service provided by my partner's firm West Marin Green Cuisine), and development of innovative energy strategies and projects. Pathfinder Communications also seeks to employ art, music and other forms of creativity to engage the general public in efforts to develop solutions to a wide range of pressing policy matters.
