I am the Co-Executive Director of Abundance New York, where we are building power for New Yorkers who believe the city and state’s superpowers are growth and change. Check out our NYC 2025 Voter Guide (nyc2025.com) for candidate recommendations for the city primaries. I ran for the State Assembly to advance an agenda of housing affordability, livable streets, desegregation, decarceration, democracy, and climate action.
When working outside New York City, I specialize in voter protection for Democratic campaigns. I built and ran Maine’s first voter protection program for Joe Biden and down-ballot Democrats in 2020; in 2022, I oversaw the northeast for the DCCC. In between, I put together this Guide to Small-D Democratic Work.
Earlier in my career, I founded DipJar, which helps low-wage service workers and nonprofits collect electronic tips and donations. I was CEO from 2011 to 2017, then served as chairman until the company’s acquisition.
