Interested in philosophy and software, I discovered zaadz.com, a site founded by a philosopher who believed in ruby on rails. I joined, and shortly thereafter we were bought by Gaiam, Inc., who morphed us into gaia.com.

I’ve ascended to the role of full site lead, and now partake in and guide everything on the Gaia, from design to strategy to cluster and coding.
