“I was born on Kauai in 1972 and by the time I was sixteen had lived in California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Texas, Mississippi, Oahu, and North Carolina. Moving from such extremes as the suburban neighborhoods of Silicon Valley to a teepee on communal land in southern Oregon, I grew up with an appreciation of a wide-range of lifestyles, making me both curious and tolerant. I currently live in New York City.

I recently completed my M.F.A. degree at Columbia University School of the Arts.”
