About

I grew up in California and went to UCSB. Spent a decade in tech — THQ, ReachLocal, Dun & Bradstreet. Now I live in Los Angeles and write about the things I actually care about.

Surfing, food, what makes a neighborhood good, why certain places feel right and others don’t. I build software too, but that’s not what this site is about.

UCSB Economics, class of ’10. Los Angeles.
