Sometimes I take on freelance work as a web developer, videographer, editor, and/or producer.
Academically; I am also studying for my MBA in Sustainable Business Development from University of the People.
Altruistically; I volunteer with the Franklin County Green Party and the Free Press Network. I produce the shows; The Other Side of the News with Bob Fitrakis & The TrustVote Report.
