I’m an Ojai resident who spends most mornings running the trails of the Topatopa Mountains and the Sespe Wilderness. I am a veteran, co-founder of the Sisar Canyon Run Club, executive director of Keep the Sespe Wild, and serve on the boards of several other environmental non-profits based in Ojai. I work to bring people together around running, stewardship, and the protection of the wild public lands that shape our community. I’m passionate about helping people deepen their connection to place while ensuring these landscapes and their inhabitants remain healthy and accessible for future generations.
