I am a Public Transit Activist with demonstrated success in Los Angeles, including a campaign that resulted in a $10 Billion SCORE for LA's Metrolink train and overcoming opposition to the 'D' Line Subway, but I grew up right here in the Pioneer Valley, in Amherst.  I'm 'Trolley Problems' now.

I live in the historic town of Deerfield, am a member of the Greenfield Historical Society, and have attended area schools, most recently studying visual arts with Nick Meyer at GCC.   I've lived in Montezuma, Costa Rica and can be found at Wildflower Alliance most days.  I'm TAKEN, but I don't want to talk about that.  It's classified.   

Mainly, I come from a cool family with a background in social justice, going back to The Jazz Barn at Music Inn in the Berkshires & my late uncle Benjamin's work uniting Mayors against Climate Change; My sister Julia is my best friend.  

I've lost friends to Opioids.  

ICE & Trump can GIT OUT.  

I didn't want to run for anything, but I can actually write bills and can get them passed.  I'm also permanently Woke.  Dad edits, plays guitar and cooks an omelette just like my Nama Steph.  Mom is a painter, among other things.   Cousins, Aunts & Uncles are the best.

If we want something done right, or at all, sometimes, we have to do it ourselves.  So, instead of telling you everything I'm against, I want to show you what I am FOR.
