About Me

My photo
Growing up in Oregon, I constantly heard wise words from my mother like "lets recycle that," "you can walk," "don't use too much water," "whole wheat is better than white," "no dessert if you don't eat your vegetables," "dark lettuce is better for you than light," "paper over plastic," "don't leave anything behind" and so much more. Her healthy ways got me into many sports and helped turn me into a record-setting track athlete. In 2006, my mother lost a 3 year battle with Lou Gehrig's Disease; something nobody would have ever expected. That was right around the time I joined the Surfrider Foundation in San Diego and had my first child, whom she never met. Now 10 years have passed since losing my mother, yet volunteering for the Surfrider Foundation, and becoming a mother, I've noticed her words have come through clearer than ever. In addition to personal training and triathlon coaching, I have done some blogging to help our planet, and improve lives. I hope you enjoy my content, and join me in my journey for a cleaner planet and promoting happier, healthier lives!

Bag It Documentary

From Surfrider San Diego:

Join us for a FREE screening of the award-winning documentary Bag It on Monday, June 2nd from 7-9pm at Bottle Craft, located at 2161 India Street San Diego, CA 92101. Attendees will receive 10% off draft beer and have the chance to win some sweet prizes!

This documentary film follows J. Berrier as he navigates our plastic world. Berrier is not a radical environmentalist, but an every day American taking a closer look at our cultural affair with plastics. His journey starts with important but often unasked questions: Are plastic bags really necessary? What are plastic bags made from? What happens to plastic bags after they are discarded? Berrier takes us beyond plastic bags, opening all of our eyes to urgent changes we can each make for the environment and the future of our oceans.

Personally, I can't wait to see it. ;)  Here's a preview...
