I’m a Community Vitality Educator with the University of Nebraska Extension and also the Unit Leader for Thayer and Nuckolls Counties (aka the Southern Plains Extension Unit).

I’m a student of and practitioner in community. This blog is my attempt at reframing the conversations many of us have around community, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

In my spare time (of which there is increasingly less) I love handtool woodworking…so there will occasionally be a smattering of posts about woodworking and how it, in many respects, is so much like community and economic development.
