Who are you and why are you doing this to me?

I enjoy wordplay. This fall I'm organizing Metagame, a conference about word games, board games, video games, and puzzles. More generally, I run Arbor, a team of people curious about markets, pedagogy, and game design. We run a trading bootcamp, an experimental pedagogy incubator for other promising bootcamps, and some weird auction-based parties.
