Inspired by the Now pages of Derek Sivers and many others, I’ve created this list of some things I’m working on now. (Most recent update: July 31, 2022).
One of my Now projects is redoing this website, which I’m chipping away at, little by little.
Publishing Work
I work as a book editor at the International Society for Technology in Education, where I get to collaborate with very cool authors on very cool books, like:
- Creative SEL by Michele Haiken and Mark Gura
- Bring History and Civics to Life by Karalee Wong Nakatsuka and Laurel Aguilar-Kirchhoff
- Teach Boldly by Jennifer Williams
- STEAM Power by Tim Needles
- Awesome Sauce by Josh Stock
- Moviemaking in the Classroom by Jessica Pack
Writing
Mysteries and graphic nonfiction.

Angel Investing
I evaluate and invest in for-profit social ventures founded and run by women, a pursuit I started under the auspices of Pipeline Angels. My current investments are Goalsetter, CNote, and Cosynd, and I’m very proud of all of them.
Other Things
- I’ve been volunteering with Braver Angels, helping to organize workshops and manage participants. The goal is get Americans talking, so that they can discover all that they still have in common.
- I volunteer with the Portland Neighborhood Emergency Team program. If there’s a big earthquake, come find me. I’ll know where the Band-Aids are. We also sewed a lot of face masks during the first year of the pandemic, and I have a challenge coin to prove it.
- Another project that started during the pandemic: I’ve become a very good baker–all vegan, no sugar.
