About
I'm an artist and anthropologist with 10 years of experience working in research and management in the fields of education, international development and finance. In recent years I have focused my efforts in the social business and economic development world by integrating ethnographic approaches to research and analysis, and consulting for-profit and not-for-profit companies seeking to develop inter-disciplinary, contextual, entrepreneurial strategies that translate into sustainable and transformative responses to poverty and environmental degradation. I'm a life-long student of revolutionary political and cultural movements having grown up in the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua, and having experienced similar movements and their residuals throughout Latin America, Eastern Europe, and South Asia. Academically, I have explored such areas as ethnodoxology, phenomenology of religion, liberation theology, existential philosophy, subaltern theory, development economics, and cultural anthropology. I studied jazz guitar at Berklee, ethnomusicology and opera at Florida State U, theology at IBTS in Prague, and anthropology at FLACSO - Ecuador. I'm a great lover of Hungarian palinka, Russian lit, Cuban Jazz, Czech beer, Nicaraguan cigars and Tenyimia Naga cuisine - why not, right?! Anyway, I reside with my wife Asanuo (of Nagaland) and son Tristan in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.
