I'm working to fix America's education system on School Pride on NBC, correspondent of AMC News on AMC & executive director of Why Tuesday?, a non-partisan group working to increase voter participation. I've contributed to NPR Weekend Edition and to the PBS series WIRED Science. I got my BA in politics and MA in political theory and philosophy from New York University. During college, I was an advance man to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and presidential candidate Howard Dean.

Media Makers event Wednesday night at NPR in Washington. At DCMM, I spoke about Why Tuesday? and how we used video blogging. Here’s the video of my speech: Part 1; Part 2.

Yesterday I visited KCRW during a taping of Left, Right and Center and made this video while hanging out. In the video are Arianna Huffington and host Matt Miller. Thanks to KCRW producer and PR director Sarah Spitz for having me.
