A little bit more personal background:

Born in Seattle where there's plenty of coffee and forestry for philosophizing. I've always been personally fascinated about bringing contemplative practices to the busy modern world. 

 I'm now living in Southern California with my wife, newborn daughter, and crazy chihuahua-terrier (not pictured here, unfortunately).
