How to get a hold of me?
I split my time living in Encino, California and South Burlington, Vermont.
The Los Angeles area is one of the most dynamic and progressive cities in the world.
And Vermont is simply a beautiful place to live. You’re likely to find me out in the woods somewhere either mountain biking or jogging. Drop me a line if you wanna go for a ride.
