Whether in the gym or around the Sandias of New Mexico, you can frequently find me rock climbing with my lovely partner, Nick, and loyal crag dog, Rumi.

I tend a backyard garden close-to year round. Some favorites are eggplant, bell peppers, basil, brussels sprouts, figs, watermelon, and of course, New Mexico green chile.

On the trails, around my neighborhood, or cuddled up on the sofa, my most loyal sidekick is my dog Rumi. He has three emotions: joy, sleepy, and anxiety, and performs all three with gusto.
