Biography

Favorite Quote
I love Jelaluddin Balkhi (Rumi) and his poetry. My favorite poem is Where Everything is Music and the stanza: "Don't worry about saving these songs! / And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter. We have fallen into the place / where everything is music."

What's your secret skill or something people might be surprised to learn about you?
I don't really have a secret skill; I do think my best skill is being present in the moment when everything around us is nutty!

How do you like to spend your downtime?
I sometimes wonder when I'll have downtime?

What do you enjoy most about Sandia Prep?
Time spent with students out in the world.

Anything else you would like to add?
I've written a couple of books, articles, and essays on historical topics, and love photographing and writing about life through journals.
