I am the Co-Executive Director of Abundance New York, where we are building power for New Yorkers who believe the city and state’s superpowers are growth and change. I ran for the State Assembly to advance an agenda of housing affordability, livable streets, desegregation, decarceration, democracy, and climate action.
When working outside New York City, I specialize in voter protection for Democratic campaigns. I built and ran Maine’s first voter protection program for Joe Biden and down-ballot Democrats in 2020; in 2022, I oversaw the northeast for the DCCC. In between, I put together this Guide to Small-D Democratic Work.
Earlier in my career, I founded DipJar, which helps low-wage service workers and nonprofits collect electronic tips and donations. I was CEO from 2011 to 2017, then served as chairman until the company’s acquisition.
