REMOVER OF OBSTACLES
Randolph Hencken
Executive Director, Seasteading Institute
Randy earned his MA in communication and his BS in business administration from San Diego State University. From 2008 to 2011, he was the Director of Communication and Marketing for the non-profit research organization MAPS, which conducts clinical research investigating combinations of psychotherapy and novel drugs to treat conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder and death anxiety. From 2006 to 2008, while writing a quantitative thesis, he taught communication courses to undergraduates at SDSU. Prior to returning to university, from 2001 to 2004, he was the program director at the Ibogaine Association, an alternative drug-treatment center in Mexico. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for Students for Sensible Drug Policy, an international organization advocating for drug policy reforms based on science and compassion. Randy is thrilled to be a part of the seasteading movement and to focus his activism toward creating innovative political systems, governments, and societies.
