As an advisor to numerous programs, I help develop strategies and manage programs, both offline and online, which strive to change the incentives (economic, cultural, political, or otherwise) that influence targeted groups of people, thus changing social behavior. I do this through program implementation, analysis, and research.

I have worked as a planner and advisor in this field since 1992, most often consulting to other organizations, sometimes starting my own projects. I have worked in 18 countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia. I have degrees from Stanford University and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. I speak English and Spanish.

Organizations I have worked with, either on my own or managing consulting teams at Forum One Communications and ICF International, include Ashoka, the African Wildlife Foundation, the National Wildlife Federation, the World Wildlife Fund, the Jane Goodall Institute, The Nature Conservancy, the Island Institute, various United Nations and World Bank environment programs, the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Mono Lake Committee, the Tropical Science Center in Costa Rica, and others.

I've also helped create and manage new initiatives including these:
* Backyard Jungle, the PBS Kids online kids-and-nature community at www.backyardjungle.org
* A program successfully motivating car mechanics in eighteen developing countries to stop venting chemicals that damage the Earth's ozone layer.
* High Sierra Software
* Bike-Aid, www.globalexchange.org/getInvolved/bikeaid/
