He helped organize antiwar protests from 2004-2007, some of which were massive. A registered Independent, his politics tend towards left-wing populism. He has lived in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco, currently splitting his time between San Jose and Utah. He is especially interested in issues that transcend party lines and bring people together.
