I'm Head of New York Operations for the global innovation firm faberNovel.
I like entrepreneurship, innovation and disruption, particularly as they relate to cities and local communities.
I have a blog about this that you can read here.
A little bit about me:
I graduated in 2005 from NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, where I created several popular city-based projects.
In 2006 I co-founded the hyperlocal news site outside.in, which was acquired by AOL.
In 2008 I started DIYcity, an online discussion about transforming cities with web technology. The site grew to include participants in over 100 cities around the world, launched open source tools for cities and became a model for local grassroots hacking movements.
In 2010 I co-founded Appify, a site for discovering and spreading word about the best local apps for your area.
I've blogged for O'Reilly Radar, Huffington Post and other news sources, and my work has been featured in the New York Times, Wired, Popular Science, The Wall Street Journal and elsewhere.
