Actions
Marine Corps Veteran, Storyteller, and Hackivist disrupting power-based violence through online access to education and community care with over eighteen years experience in the technical and operational program management of space and military intelligence federal contracts in the United States.
I made a promise to support and defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take that VERY seriously, and will fight for your right to hate me. I will not, however, tolerate acts of violence directed at individuals for simply taking up space, acts of coercion through threats of violence, or any attempt at using violence as a way to maintain power. I will speak out and take the defense for any victim of violence (in all of its forms) and all individuals impacted by the use of power-based violence.
I believe in the power of storytelling energy as a renewable resource capable of magic, the kindness of strangers, and ability to overcome hardship through communal care. I use the arts of satire, drag, and boudoir performance to make light of extremely controversial and traumatic but historical events that surround United States Post World War II Military History.

The Art of Influence: Hacking the Social System with Ethical Social Engineering
"The Art of Influence: Hacking the Social System with Ethical Social Engineering," will delve into how individuals can ethically leverage influence and financial strategies to navigate and impact the U.S. social system.
The session will explore the following core concepts, including:
* Ethical Social Engineering: We will examine the framework of ethical social engineering, emphasizing its use for positive change and community building, rather than manipulation or harm. The session will highlight the importance of transparency, accountability, and understanding the intent and impact of actions.
* The Art of Making a Decision: Participants will learn how decisions, from simple choices to life-changing ones, impact various stakeholders. We will discuss strategies for making informed decisions and becoming an effective "decider" when it matters most.
* The Almighty Dollar: This segment will analyze currency as a tangible form of money and an intangible system of value. We will explore the fluctuating nature of currency and its role within the social system.
* It’s All a Pyramid Scheme: Drawing parallels to the Tower of Babel, this section will discuss how individuals and organizations operate within hierarchical structures and how influence can be built and leveraged to grow one's "pyramid" for collective benefit. We will explore how to identify risks and assets within these systems and the importance of fostering self-worth and community pride through skills sharing and experiential learning.
* Storyteller Energy: The session will emphasize the power of "storyteller energy" as the communal currency of humanity. Attendees will learn how to harness this energy to create positive change and build a more equitable world where nature and technology coexist. This concept aligns with The Hive Social Garden's mission to disrupt power-based violence through online community care and education.
This session aims to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to understand and ethically "hack" the U.S. social system, fostering sustainable communities and contributing to a more just and inclusive future, one family and community at a time.
