I'm passionate about

Ending domestic violence and sexual assault. I am the co-founder of NO MORE, a national campaign designed to raise awareness and engage bystanders around domestic violence and sexual assault, using a symbol to unify all the organizations working on these issues. It is also an "open source" campaign, meaning we provide the tools, but anyone can use them to raise money for their organizations, educate their communities, etc. Our target audiences for prevention are really youth, because if we want DV/SA to end, we must teach kids very young about healthy manhood, healthy relationships, conflict resolution and mutual respect.

An idea worth spreading

Crowdsourcing for issues. NO MORE is a national domestic violence and sexual assault campaign that is "open source" -- meaning available to anyone to use and tailor in their effort to end DV/SA. Let's Win PC is a web-based platform designed to help patients and families dealing with pancreatic cancer find the latest science and treatment options by sharing stories of other patients.
