Geography

Yes, I’m a geographer! Learn more >>

Sailing

  • I’m a novice sailor that dreams of sailing across the Pacific. Most often you’ll find me sailing my 1980 Lido 14 (#4720). I’m always looking for more people that want to sail!

Mixology

  • Primarily an exploration of plants and lens to view how different cultures appreciate spirits. The Spirit Scout »

Toyota Pickup

  • I daily drive a 1991 Toyota Pickup (2WD, 5-speed manual, 22RE). By no means am I a mechanic, but I sure seem to spend a lot of time tinkering these days.

Food

  • My fascination with food systems, especially the relationship between land, plants, animals, and people has long driven my personal and career interests. In academia my master’s thesis was about aquaculture and I served as a graduate student instructor for Geography 130: Food and the Environment at UC Berkeley. I’ve also raised chickens and bees in my backyard.

Beekeeping

  • I learned the basics of beekeeping while working with Yolanda Burrell at Pollinate Farm & Garden (Oakland, CA). Honeybees are absolutely fascinating and while I currently do not have my own hive, I would be interested in finding opportunities to beekeep again.
