In September 2011, the WSL made a stop in

Long Beach for the Quiksilver Pro New York.

I grabbed my camera and headed out on the LIRR

to capture some of my most favorite pictures.

This launched my ongoing series of surfers,

surfboards, and surf breaks.

Environmentalist

In 2007, I watched the movie that changed my life ~ An Inconvenient Truth. On a mission to do my part to save the planet, I created a humor blog ~ The Green, The Bad and The Ugly ~ where I called out the ridiculousness of vegetables wrapped in styrofoam and plastic and talked about the cigarette butts, plastic bags and unmentionables we leave behind on beaches.

In 2012, I was invited by the Climate Reality Project to work with Al Gore and become an official Climate Presenter ~ a chosen group of passionate environmentalists who are trained to give the same slide show in An Inconvenient Truth to audiences all over the world.
