I’m a novice sailor that dreams of sailing across the Pacific. Typically, you’ll find me sailing around Alamitos Bay in Sunrise, my 1980 Lido 14 (#4720).

My fascination with food systems has long driven my personal and career interests. I’ve raised chickens and bees, and daydream of operating an oyster farm.

In academia my master’s thesis was about aquaculture and I served as a graduate student instructor for Food and the Environment at UC Berkeley.

Primarily a botanical exploration and lens to appreciate the unique ways different cultures harness the plants, land, and climate of their region.

The Spirit Scout

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.

I daily drive a 1991 Toyota Pickup (2WD, 5-speed manual, 22RE).

I was an active photographer until about 2015.
