I grew up in a small town west of Asheville. Was raised in a family that prioritized traveling to learn from other cultures and time spent outdoors. I spent the past year and a half working on ill-fated political campaigns, and now I fill my days with books, running, doing pottery, reading, drinking mate or coffee, making smoothies, drinking smoothies, playing frisbee, climbing, skiing, meditating, doing yoga, writing, and generally trying to avoid being sedated by my facebook news feed.
