Raised 50 miles north of New York City, moved west with family in high school and never turned back!

Fell in love with the Rocky Mountains.  Am a certified secondary science teacher, have a masters degree in biology and have worked as both an outdoor educator and biologist.  Founding Director for Boulder’s Procession of Species Earth Day Celebration Event.  Selected Artist with Boulder’s Open Studios/Open Arts Event. Award winning black and white photographer. Founding Director of Oh Be Joyful Journeys, LLC (see post for more information). Wilderness first aid certified.

In my free time, I like to ski, hike, attend yoga classes and spend time with friends and family.  I am a 20+ year practicing buddhist/contemplative practitioner. I am married and have two teenagers.  Boulder and Crested Butte, Colorado are places I call home.
