I'm a journalist - mainly have done all of my reporting in OC since 2001. Interests include community news/features, tech and innovation. Also run my own website, inter-TECH-ion, that covers national trends in tech, at the intersection of diversity and social justice: https://www.inter-tech-ion.tech/
When I'm not writing, you can find me outside walking, jogging, biking or swimming or doing yoga/qi gong.
Love OC! My first independent media website covered startups in OC and the greater SoCal region.
