Hobbies
I'm an avid fan of nature and the outdoors--bonsai, hiking, camping, and fishing. I can often be found at the greenbelt and local state parks, including McKinney Falls and Blanco River. I'm a passionate writer and reader, even in my spare time. As a creative writer I've participated in academic programs and summer conferences. As a music journalist I dabble in photography, and, of course, enjoy live music.
