Changeany1thing was created by two guys who shared a cube at a technology company; Eric is the product marketing guy, and Rob is the IT architect. Work being what it is, they spent a fair amount of time complaining about the state of the world, about social trends, about the nutty right-wing politics and spin in the mainstream news….and thought about ways to use their tech skills to do something GOOD.

About Eric

Eric Heller is a father of two, left of liberal, wannabe poet-writer, Mets fanatic, former teacher and now technology marketing manager. He is living the 21st Century American Dream: Married, kids, mortgage, and is strapped almost all the time. Never knows a forty hour week, spends hours of it in traffic, fighting for air, space to breathe, and a calm moment, wondering how to make the world a more kind and peaceful place. Like most other 30ish/40ish people he knows with kids, he has almost nothing saved, owns a huge debt and is trying, against all odds, to raise his children to be happy, full of wonder and caring in a place determined to turn them into self-doubting consumer-citizens. And he’s not happy about much of this.

He also has a LOT of ideas about changing things - he’s kept a text file on his Mac for years, filled with them - but very little time to put his grandiose plans into effect. So he came up with the idea of changany1thing.com since he figures there are a lot of other frustrated - yet hopeful - people out there who like what modern life has to offer - if only we could change a thing or two….
