Bio: I live a strange life, even by today?s colorful standards. I feel much older, learned, and experienced that I actually am. I?ve resided in Southern California all my life, yet I?ve really only been living for half a decade. I?ve been in the food industry in various capacities for over a decade and am privileged to be able to travel through and between our country. And I am one of the fortunate few who has found their soulmate in the most unlikely person, that of my mother. I?m essentially homeless, insanely intense, metaphorically hungry, extraordinarily anxious, have been told I?m peerless, and am slowly coming to grips with the reality that I?m a much better editor than I am a writer.
