Armando has spent his first career working in non-profits, providing arts and environmental education during the day. At night, he was a performance artist, teaching, producing art shows, and performing.

Later, he became an environmental activist. He planted trees, held meditations, advocated for setbacks on neighborhood drilling, ran electoral and policy campaigns, supported direct actions and art builds, provided youth training and facilitation, and traveled internationally within the environmental movement.

Recently, he finished his first year in a remote climate tech startup doing communications, remote culture building, retreat facilitation, podcast production, and producing in-person corporate events.

His current goal is to ensure that the United States honors the Paris Agreement, ensuring a maximum of 1.5 degrees of warming.

Armando has a wide network of professionals dedicated to transformative action, and he is uniquely positioned to solve social challenges as a senior activist and expert in people engagement, communications, crisis management, strategy, and campaigning.

As a dedicated spiritual practitioner, Armando encourages us to further our visionary courage by tending to our grief and upholding an imagination of justice. He nurtures a transformative culture among teams through friendliness, compassion, directness, and accountability.

He asks his community to practice the kind of radical adaptations our world needs while being gentle with our mistakes. He lives with the Earth and moves with the culture.
