What I cover
These days, you're most likely to hear more on air filling in for one of the LAist hosts. Before that, I covered infrastructure, which I define as all the different things we build together to make life better, for LAist for many years.
My background
A lifelong resident of Southern California, I'm military veteran, a former Peace Corps Volunteer and an endurance athlete. My favorite places to be are on the starting line of the L.A. Marathon and riding my bike up Glendora Mountain Road. I also swim, knit, cook, sew, and weave.
