I'm a writer and sometimes editor with a convert's passion for life in the Northwest. From hiking the foothills of the Coast Range to cooking up something extravagantly tasty from my garden, I love this place, and love sharing my enthusiasm with others. My writing interests include food, travel, culture and the environment.

Portland, Oregon is my home, though I have also enjoyed living and playing in Missoula, MT (where I earned an MS in Environmental Studies), Tuscon, AZ, the Big Island of Hawai'i, and many other points West of the hundredth meridian.
