Reflections on life and work by Devon Akmon.
I have a strong affinity for the community-based organization that seeks to empower and enrich the lives of those it serves. Currently, I am employed as the Deputy Director at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. As a museum professional, I am most interested in collective memory and new media initiatives.
In addition, I volunteer with other nonprofits in Detroit and Ann Arbor, MI. In my spare time I have also served on various nonprofit boards and municipal committees.
When I am not at work, I spend much of my time reading, running, cycling, gardening, making/hacking, and hanging out with friends and family. I have a strong interest in the visual arts, community building, urban homesteading, and living sustainably.
