CURRENT MISSION

I spent the last year recovering from an ACL surgery, and now I'm back, stronger, healthier and happier than ever. Working as a peaceful estate planning attorney and exploring my passions for all aspects of filmmaking - writing, acting, producing. Re-discovering my inner artist. Also, taking care of my body - running, biking, climbing, learning acro, which brings me lots of joy.

Life is amazing, and I'm definitely enjoying it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed three 14,000+ foot mountains in a week; returned from the last mountain on Sunday morning, and drove straight to a new town where on Monday I was starting a new full time job (and didn't have a place to live). That was intense.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yoga holds the key.
