I write, design, tell stories, swim, run and explore the world. Endless project starter, do-er, silly-maker. I write about cities, psychology, people, and getting things done.

Graduate of Penn's Design School in Landscape Architecture + Urban Design; built the website www.landscapeurbanism.com about the future of cities and I write about the need for a better understanding of what Landscape Architecture is and does.

Also the brain behind the website "It Starts With," about the psychology of getting things done.

Formerly an NCAA All-American and currently an open-water swimmer. Raising money for Charity:Water by doing a birthday swim (in my birthday suit!) from Alcatraz to San Francisco.
