Personal

I live in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California with my wife Caron, 9-year-old daughter Chloe, and lazy 16-year-old cat Sam. I’m an outdoor enthusiast: I love to hike, bike, practice yoga, visit National Parks, roam the desert landscape, and explore coastlines. Over the years I’ve accumulated a nice collection of Miocene period marine fossils that I discovered on beaches, extracted from cliffs, or pulled from riverbeds. Big Sur and Pioneertown are two of the places in California that I enjoy visiting most. Cooking is another passion of mine, especially alongside friends, and one of my favorite dishes to fire up is fish tacos paired with homemade guacamole.
