My family has been involved in Haiti for the last 15+ years. We have worked with several non-profit organizations, mostly focused on working with education, women and children. The work that we do varies, but typically relates to the different abilities we have in our family. My work typically revolves around education and technology support. In 2011, we began the adoption process of our 7th child, who is from Haiti. He finally came home in the summer of 2014.

Doing work in addition to my 'day job' has always been a big part of my professional picture. The work I do has ranged from marketing and graphic design, to web and software development, to the development of full-scale learning management systems.
In 2012, to support these efforts, I launched The Learning Underground, Inc.
This corporate structure provides a capital resource and legal structure to support large-scale and experimental projects.
