Get to Know Me Further
My roots are in Southern California, where I grew up filling my life with music and backpacking and canoeing. In college I began to work on water and sanitation international development projects, which led me to Cameroon, Benin, Palestine, Thailand, Honduras, and Nigeria. My wife and I got engaged at a music festival in the Highlands of Scotland, and after our daughter was born we moved from San Diego, to Vermont, and eventually to Colorado. We live in a cohousing community, I’m a Councilmember for the City of Littleton, and fill my days being a husband and parent, disc golfing, biking, and keeping our dog entertained.
