He is a co-founder of the Democracy At Work Network, the technical assistance service of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives, and currently serves on DAWN's Board of Governors and its Training and Certification committee. He also currently serves DAWN as a certified Peer Advisor, actively providing technical assistance to worker co-ops, start-ups, and conversions. This interview was recorded in 2015.
