SocraticExperience.com, a secondary school for parents seeking a warm, motivating, high performance virtual educational experience for their children, specializing in creative, intellectual, and entrepreneurial students whose needs are not being met by conventional schools.

Founder of the Academy of Thought and Industry, an innovative Montessori-aligned high school with campuses in SF, NYC, Austin, and St. Louis.  They are managed by Higher Ground Education, the leading Montessori network in the U.S.

Twenty-eight years creating innovative K-12 programs and schools, based on Montessori, Socratic, and entrepreneurial principles, including an inner city school at which minority females gained four years of critical thinking skills in four months (on a test that correlates with SAT and IQ); a Montessori middle school in Palo Alto where the average 8th grade SAT for students was higher than the average private school senior; a school for gifted children where middle schoolers passed AP science courses; MVHS, a rural New Mexican school ranked the 36th best public high school in the U.S.; and KoSchool in Austin.  My book, The Habit of Thought:  From Socratic Seminars to Socratic Practice summarizes my approach.  All of my schools are based on the cultivation of respectful, civil, authentic intellectual dialogue.

This led to FLOW, a non-profit devoted to promoting entrepreneurial solutions to world problems, co-founded with John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods Market.  My second book, Be the Solution:  How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems, co-authored with Mackey, Mohammad Yunus, Hernando de Soto, and others summarizes our approach.

Because global poverty is the biggest of all problems, FLOW led me to focus on bringing better law and governance to the global poor.  As a consequence, I began working to create Special Development Regions and e-government in  Honduras, Senegal, and other regions around the world.

I'm passionate about entrepreneurial solutions to world problems, with personal interest and experience in education and law/governance.  I write on these issues at Medium.

As Senior Writer for the personal finance blog Wise Bread (named by Slate.com as "One of the Best Sites to Help you Scrimp Through the Recession" and PC World as a Best Friend of the Unemployed.), I'm also featured as a contributing author in Wise Bread's new book "10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget."

Senior Writer

Helping to bring big brands to the community of Wise Bread, I have successfully built promotional campaigns involving companies such as H&R Block and Sam’s Club.  I helped bring Wise Bread’s book 10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget onto the Walmart.com shopping site and into the store section of Grit Magazine.  My work with several top editors earned Wise Bread mentions in publications such as Woman’s Day, TIME, Shape, Better Homes and Gardens, Family Circle, First For Women, and Reader’s Digest, and I am a recurring expert in All You magazine’s frugality and food features. 

As the Community Manager for the top personal finance site WiseBread.com, I have helped build their Twitter following from 6,000 to over 10,000 in less than 4 months, and their Facebook fan page from just a handful to well over 3,000 in weeks.

I've enjoyed creating content for print and online outlets for over 15 years -- a lifetime in the digital age! With tech, search, and reader interests changing so frequently, I understand how important it is to stay current on trends and give audiences what they crave -- while keeping brand voice at top of mind. I have a history of managing digital communities and delight in bringing journalism standards to branded content campaigns. I love nothing more than to support today's growing businesses with their conversion and retention goals while staying true to the need to create engaging, fact-based pieces.
