I am a Davis native who grew up in South Davis, attending Montgomery Elementary, Harper Junior High, and Davis Senior High before leaving to compete as a pole vaulter at the University of Tennessee, where I studied Psychology and Biology. After six years in Knoxville, I returned home to Davis, where I now help run a long-term mental health rehabilitation facility. I am currently active in our community, working towards a better future for all in Davis. I am starting a masters program in counseling psychology at USF (Sacramento campus) and I am completing a fellowship in Acceptance and Integration training with plans to build a private client base to work with. I am also working on a memoir. I have lived in Davis for nearly three decades and consider it one of the great privileges of my life.
