After almost nine years of service, Im leaving MTV just short of getting free steak knives  Thats right…and not only am I leaving MTV but Im leaving good old NYC.  I’ve have the pleasure and absolute honor of announcing that I have just accepted the position of Campaign Director/Chief Creative Officer for Energy Action Coalition (EAC) in Washington DC!

As most of you already know, EAC is the preeminent youth environmental/energy organization in North America.  They were MTV’s official partner for our award winning Break The Addiction campaign around climate change and were the muscle behind the largest youth environmental conference EVER this past February when they brought over 12,000 young people to DC for their Powershift conference.  EAC is a coalition of the top environmental and energy related organizations in the world and have a massive network of young people everywhere.  Its going to be insane working with such an amazing organization and network of partners and I truly am humbled by this opportunity.

And now from the You Cant Run Away From Your Past file…our office is literally around the corner from the Real World DC house in DuPont Circle which begins filming shortly.  Perhaps that will be a little piece of MTV nearby to ease my transition into the new neighborhood

To everyone Ive worked with over the years at MTV, its been a pleasure.  I’ll be back often but before then stay tuned as there are a couple parties Im having in NYC before I go that , lets just say, will leave an indellible mark on the city in my absence…

For my friends in DC, i look forward to you helping me transition! (seriously) I’ll be moving down that way around July 17.
