You see more than you think. Your brain drops most of it. I keep the part it dropped.
Twenty-five years of reflections, layers, wreckage and light. I still can't tell you why some frames hold and others don't.

dabfoto in 1998. Spacetaker in 2000, which is Fresh Arts now. Invest in Houston in 2010, which became the Washington Avenue Arts District. The Change Lab in 2025, and that one I'm still inside.

Program design and implementation. Two years with the Houston Food Bank on Strategic Goal 4, a year and a half on Red Sand Project. Few partners, and I stay.
How it worksCoaching
Most of it comes down to how we talk to ourselves.
Integrative — live, work, play, not fenced off from each other. Three months at a stretch, ninety minutes a session, breath and movement alongside the conversation.
