Born in Oklahoma, raised in Phoenix and Beijing, schooled in Berkeley. I enjoy reaching beyond our everyday discourse to capture life's underbelly: all the little truths we breeze by. 

 

When I'm not writing, I may be climbing, reading, camping, tapping into my alter ego the environmentalist, or most likely, drowning in a frozen pool of Excel.
