OTHER STUFF I’m UP TO



SERENDIPITY CHATS

I’m restarting a favorite past time! I open up a few hours each month to the simple joys of serendipity & human connection.
Join me for a chat here. Seriously, just do it. :)


The Portland Salon

Some of my favorite nights of the year!

A good old fashioned intellectual salon, where we grapple with some of life's biggest, toughest questions in the company of a small group of remarkable people & new friends.

Learn more about the salon here.


A space where I muse, ponder and pontificate on excellence, leadership, growth, education and... whatever I happen to feel like.

Find Spark Ideas here.


I love reading. In fact, I spend a LOT of time reading. These are books that found me at the right time and significantly impacted the way that I see the world. I'm indebted to the authors for their gifts. 

Find them here.


Finally, The Adirondacks have an iconic image. And I'm a professional vexillologist?

A project of my heart over the last decade, 100% of proceeds were donated to the park & its residents, with a focus on environmental stewardship, economic vitality and educational opportunity.

At the end of 2025, the flag was donated to The Wild Center to usher in a new era of growth & stewardship.

You can find the flag for sale here.


Social Media Free

In spite of (or perhaps because of) my immersion in the online world for my work, I do my best to cultivate a deep, slow and softly pleasurable life. I've been social media free for 15+ years. I suggest you give it a try. Relish the boredom.
