Member since: April 25th 2010

I was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM and now live in New Haven, CT. I work on GiftFlow full-time. It is my passion. I am happy to answer any questions about the project! When not trying to jump-start our wonderful gift network, you can find me: on my bike, in the pool, on my slackline, dumpster diving and cooking.

    I was happy to give the shoes to Josh. They were getting lonely in my closet and now I'm sure they've been frolicking happily on his feet. Not only is Josh good at frolicking, but I'm sure he uses the shoes to kick injustice in the ass on a daily basis.

    Hans is a blessing! Hans met with me to discuss & tutor WordPress for the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen's web site. As it turned out not only did he know WordPress but gave me instruction in several other issues concerning DESK's web site. He was extemely knowledgeable, on time and very user friendly! This was a great experience and a great resource.

    Diana is an open-minded and energetic person. She has been really fun to work with, in fact we keep getting more and more involved in each other's projects. I am now the webmaster for DESK and will be administering the email newsletter and website. This is not a big time commitment for me and I am happy to help DESK where they need it.

    Hans, It is great to work with you (even a little) on marketing and organizing. So far, I've posted GiftFlow information to my Facebook page & have done some word-of-mouth recommendations. I'm really excited about the possibilities of GiftFlow and happy that GNHCommunity lead is working out. Here's to more great conversations about moving forward this concept of alternative economies!
