"This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979), Introduction.


I have worked in accounting and finance in both the not for profit and for profit sectors, including serving as Chief Financial Officer of the New Teacher Center, the Community Foundation Silicon Valley, Pacific School of Religion, and Chief of Finance and Administration for the Wikimedia Foundation until September 2015.

I am now working on the projects as a volunteer and I am open to ideas about how to best participate in our community.
