My recent adventures include working for the United Nations in Rome, interviewing African villagers about their satisfaction with telephone booths, and driving a Peugot full of expensive ham from Italy to Russia. I drive a hybrid car, sing in a gospel choir, and want to be Curious George when I grow up.

I am the founder of BioRegional North America (see BioRegional UK for our parent NGO) and run the One Planet Communities program in the US, Canada, and Mexico. www.oneplanetcommunities.org/NorthAmerica

I am an enthusiastic Canadian, and own a fun little log cabin near Ottawa, Canada. Samantha Lee and our daughter Ashiah live there.

Prior to my work in the environmental sector, I was the founder of 2 successful internet companies. The most recent, www.tomoye.com, is the leading developer of professional online community software.
