CURRENT MISSION To travel. To write. To escape. I can't stay grounded too long. ABOUT ME Riverkeeper for the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation (can visit www.CatawbaRiverkeeper.org) after finishing grad school at Chapel Hill (marine sciences, researching rivers and climate change). I was a journalism major, but also did marine science (geochemistry) research through undergrad. Writing-related jobs weren't big when I graduated, so I went the science route. I really miss writing, so I am developing an extensive travel writing site. So show me the fun a place can have! PHILOSOPHY I'm all over the place. I'll put it this way: three cross-country trips in a year. I'm getting addicted to them. They're therapeutic.
