Jason Godesky

Page history last edited by PBworks 17 years, 8 months ago

Jason Godesky is a member of the Tribe of Anthropik. He is one of the authors of the Anthropik Network, including the Thirty Theses and the original proposal for the Appalachian Confederation.

 

Jason was born in Pittsburgh in 1982, and lived for a time in Newport News, Virginia. Soon after returning to Pittsburgh, Jason became a devout Catholic. He attended a mix of public and Catholic schools from kindergarten through high school, finally entering the University of Pittsburgh in 1999 and graduating in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and Computer Science. While at the University of Pittsburgh, Jason became the founding member of Tribal Dawn, which he later left to found another occupational tribe, "Anthropik Media." Anthropik Media never succeeded the way Jason had originally intended, but it did morph into the current Tribe of Anthropik.

 

Jason currently lives in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania with his wife, Giulianna Lamanna. Michael Godesky is his brother.
