Born in Cleveland, Ohio, I spent my early years in Florida and later lived in both New York City and San Francisco before settling in Albuquerque in the mid-eighties. It was here that I truly found my connection to the land and the vibrant community. During my time at KUNM, our local public radio station, I pursued my passion for education, studying Eastern and Comparative Philosophy. This journey, along with my life experiences, deepened my sense of purpose and commitment to service, which ultimately led me to a career in law.
I am fortunate to have a close relationship with my son, his partner, and their two beloved dogs. Recently, I received the joyful news that I will soon become a grandfather, a blessing that adds even more meaning to this stage of my life.
