I grew up exploring the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, which sparked my love of outdoor adventures and the mysteries of nature. After earning degrees from UCLA and Wharton, I built a career in high-tech while raising my family in Northern California.
Now based in Oregon, I stay active in the outdoors as a Sierra Club outings leader and volunteer in my community, including leading the National Writers Union Writers Corner program. When I’m not writing, I’m exploring, teaching, and enjoying time with family.
