2010-1 - Present · 16 yrs 9 mos

I am in the process of starting a 501(c)(4) community welfare cooperative in my home area, Northeast Los Angeles (NELA). The diversity of the population, unique topography of the area, and proximity to Tier-1 carrier neutral hotels in downtown LA all add up to a vast potential. The cooperative's primary motivation is to bring secure sharing tools, lower cost of bandwidth, superior Internet services, and DC microgrid power distribution to the NELA region and eventually all our neighbors.
