One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the John Muir Trail - my greatest adventure in appreciation of creation and community.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about ways to live more sustainably. My family uses 100% electricity from rooftop solar and reduced our overall carbon footprint to 50% of US average. Seeking further improvement through plant based diet, and slow travel - bike commuting and quitting planes (ouch!).
