My writing has appeared in Yoga Journal, where I was a senior editor, Tricycle, Shambhala Sun (now Lion’s Roar), Orion, Wild Hope, Washington Post, HuffPost, and numerous literary magazines, including Willow Springs, Manoa, The Ekphrastic Review, and is forthcoming in Belleview Literary Review.
I was born in Detroit and grew up in the Midwest. I’ve lived some amazing places: New Orleans, Beijing, and (last and longest) the San Francisco Bay Area.
I’ve hiked across the Grand Canyon twice, skied the Vallée Blanche, and cycled to the top of the Col du Tourmalet but I’m just as thrilled walking the dog in my neighborhood, behind a good book, or on a meditation cushion. I currently serve as president of the board at the Berkeley Zen Center.
