Carbon based life form on the third rock from the sun. Husband, parent, dog lifestyle facilitator. Trail runner. Once and hopefully future frequent skier, biker, and traveler. NY native and SF dweller. 18 year communications professional with expertise in corporate, executive, financial, internal, media relations, and issues management in the technology, financial services, politics, and public policy sectors. Fan of the 27 time World Series champion New York Yankees, the 5 time NCAA hoops champion North Carolina Tarheels - incongruous as that may seem - and whomever is performing on the Congo Square stage. Kauai is where I'd rather be.
