I try to follow the advice of Walt Whitman: “Love the earth and sun
and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to
others… Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in
any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very
flesh shall be a great poem…”
I spend my time doing what makes me come alive: Nothing’s better than running up Romero Canyon and rising above the ocean fog; skiing down fresh snow from high in the eastern Sierra; laughing with climbing friends around a campfire in Joshua Tree; falling off my surfboard and feeling the ocean all around me; doing cartwheels at the local crossfit gym, getting lost while searching for Sespe hot springs; exploring rural Spain on foot, mountain biking among Colorado pine trees; or [insert next adventure here]. And then afterwards laughing about it with friends.
I work in a think tank for a national environmental organization, advancing solutions to global warming. I love the people I work with (they are smart, optimistic and tough) and knowing that what I do every day really matters. Cooking is one of my favorite excuses to get interesting friends together (and for emptying out the fridge). I often invent new (and occasionally delicious) things to eat with whatever ingredients are nearby. And for dessert, I love to top it all off with some live music (think KCRW). In short, I'm a smart, idealistic, fun-loving, hot spring-lounging, pseudo-surfing, living poem who loves to feed people and take them to indie rock concerts.
