“The world will either shrink or expand, depending on the stories we share.”

I’ve always had a strong sense of civic duty. When I was younger that energy was about serving my country, but as I’ve aged that sense of service has grown beyond borders. Advocating for marginalized communities, protecting the environment, advancing scientific literacy and technology are all issues extremely important in our time.

There is an opportunity to bridge advancing technologies with potential users, spotlight need, and foster constructive conversation using multimedia tools. My goal is using the strengths of storytelling to shape public perception of science and raise the profile of important research.

Not From Concentrate - Web Series Trailer

SAPPHIRE and AMD present Not From Concentrate - an online show about passion and the art of PC building.

Not From Concentrate - Ep. 1 - Meet Josh

Josh Sniffen is an Industrial Designer whose passion is computers. At a crucial moment in his life he forged a relationship with a computer systems company named Sapphire who is now challenging Josh to create a computer build from scratch by utilizing the skills he's developed as a designer.

Not From Concentrate - Ep. 2 - Picking Out The Parts

Now that Josh has his build designed he needs to pick out the materials for his parts. He's never worked with wood before and has no idea the challenge he's in for, but he's also racing against the clock to find a local business to cut the parts in expedited time.

Not From Concentrate - Ep. 3 - The Piñata and the Prototype

Josh gets in all the parts he ordered from Sapphire and AMD and he begins modding them to fit the theme of his build, but as he works problems begin popping up one after the other as his deadline looms near.

Not From Concentrate - Ep. 4 - It's All About The Finish

Having been dealing with issues popping up all over the place, the deadline is now and Josh needs to get his computer together and running. But he can't just slap it together and have it look nice, so he really focuses on the details of what's left and possibly makes his deadline unattainable.

Advocacy
Algae Sustainability Introduction

"After a successful career as a surgeon practicing throughout the southern United States, founder Dr. Marion Dodson sought out a place where he could make a direct impact. He cofounded a hospital in Honduras then proceeded to address the core issues of people’s lives including food, the environment and learning. Today Dr. Dodson’s efforts are manifest in the operations of Funavid, a non-profit based on the Carribean coast of Honduras that supports sustainable agriculture, an array of scientific learning in cooperation with the local university - CURLA and multiple environmental protection initiatives. Presently Funavid is constructing an algae cultivation and processing facility which will use the proteins, starches and oils from algae to make nutritional supplements for people, animal feed, fish food and explore medicinal possibilities. Hopefully additional applications of algae will emerge as well.
