About Me

Hi, I'm currently is a researcher at the Natural Capital Institute in Sausalito, California.

A little background information: I grew up in Caulksville, Arkansas, population 233 as of the year 2000. I'll post a picture later of downtown and the bowling alley where I used to work in the back, unsticking pins and using my young lungs as a filter for the unending clouds of cigarette smoke that wafted back to the pinsetters.

Here's a photo of one of my favorite places in Arkansas, the Buffalo River, which received the nation's first designation as a national river in the United States after a fight to keep the CCC or some other heavy-handed and well-meaning government agency from daming it. No real whitewater here for your more intrepid canoers but a nice float spot in the spring when the water's up. Also good backpacking here and around, anytime but summer when the heat and humidity makes hiking and sleeping insufferable. Admittedly, picking the Buffalo is like pointing out the Machu Picchu as a nice bit of Peru, a tad obvious, but it's emblamatic of some of the pretty and uncrowded terrain all up in Northwest Arkansas.
