Founder of Levees.org

After Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures, I founded Levees.org with my son Stanford, then just 15. Together, we launched a non profit to help everyone understand why a major American city went underwater. Campaigning for better laws, and using social media, letter-writing teams, and much more, Levees.Org has educated citizens nationwide on the vetted facts surrounding the 2005 flooding.
