The NYC Files – China: Through the Looking Glass
June 18, 2015The first weekend in June 2015 was the annual trek to one of my favorite cities in the world. This year I went with a very good friend of mine who actually was the first person I visited NYC with in late 1999. There is much to share about this adventure with nearly 18,000 concrete …

When Worlds Collide
March 30, 2015I feel like I’ve done a lot more talking about surf lately than other topics that fill my life.

The Sensepiration Files: Violet IS Incredible
June 9, 2014My insides hum with energy when (especially overdue) inspiration happens. To quote my new favorite song, so eloquently written by Elbow, “everybody owns the great ideas, and it feels like there’s a big one, ’round the corner”.
