ABOUT ME

I recently moved back to DC after spending a year in Buenos Aires. I dabbled in many things but worked full-time directing an art and culture blog (www.juanelear.com) and producing some art exhibits for friends.

I grew up in the country and that life-style has still stuck with me. I'm a minimalist. I love to grow my own food or support local farmers that do. I like to be barefoot. I hike, run and bike whenever I can.

Right now I work in nutritional education for low-income families with an organization called Share Our Strength in DC. It's the perfect job for me except it involves an office.
