Since joining the movement in 1991, I have been focused on Primary Prevention (even before that phrase became the fashion). For twenty years, as a sustaining member of Men Stopping Rape, Inc. (MSR), one of the nation’s first men’s anti-violence organizations (started in 1983), I facilitated hundreds of workshops drawing on my own experiences being raised male, and encouraging participants to broaden their awareness of sexual violence to find its origins in the deeper fiber of our everyday lives and surrounding culture.

This work has continued to grow and be built upon further during my years with the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault, the National Network to End Domestic Violence, and in my current position with the Learning Communities for Institutional Change & Excellence (LCICE) at UW-Madison.
