I’m retired after a career of 35 years in Information Technology and prior to that 10 years of Real Estate property management/development. Though retired, I am busy with a number of projects.

My cultures are very close to my heart.

The project I am most involved in today is Turtle Island, which is a collection of social media servers. The flagship is a Mastodon instance of the decentralized ActivityPub network (The Fediverse) for my Native relatives and non-Native friends. Reach me there at @Yehuda@TurtleIsland.social. Most recently, I added a Bluesky PDS (Personal Data Server) also for my Native relatives and non-Native friends. Reach me there at @Yehuda.TurtleIs.land.

Last but not least, I am an activist to fight homelessness, support Native and decolonization causes, and fight the corrupt politics and politicians of the settler colonial nation-state. I am currently part of an organization that on an average day provides 350 people temporary shelter and 100 senior citizens affordable housing.

Thanks!
-Yehuda
