I support WorldOregon because it knowledgeably addresses the important international challenges that face leaders, educators, policymakers and all of us as citizens.

I am most proud of my work internationally and domestically for civil liberties, human rights, conflict resolution, environment, and social and economic justice.

Other places I have worked, I have worked as a grant-making foundation leader, attorney and in various positions in city, state, and federal government over six continents and in a number of conflict zones.

I am inspired by Raoul Wallenberg, Nelson Mandela, and the number of people I have met working risking their well-being and lives to make the world better in dangerous and problematic contexts.
