I have a long career of working on the toughest local issues in Minnesota, with many different roles - program designer, funder, collaboration leader, advocate, and educator. I am flunking retirement as I have fallen in love with Impact Hubs and founding one if Minneapolis-St. Paul. I also teach graduate students about social entrepreneurship and philanthropy at Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. In my downtime I live on a marsh where our 17 bird feeders bring all the critters within our view.
