Enjoys traveling, hiking and writing.

I had 'wilderness withdrawal' when I arrived in Los Angeles. When you grow up in those places [national parks], you don't appreciate it until you lose it. The national parks were my back yard that other people came to visit for a few days. Conversely, when I saw San Francisco for the first time, I was as fascinated by it as much as our tourists were with the Grand Canyon.
