Marin Headlands Trip




On April 28, 2007, my wife, Jen and I went on a short trip to the Marin Headlands for the first time. We picked up a Mini Cooper convertible from City Car Share and drove across the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time. It was a very fun experience. We drove around the Marin Headlands, admiring the view of the Golden Gate and it's famous bridge. It truly is a beautiful marriage of natural beauty and human construction that compliment each other. We had time to visit the beach and the Marine Mammal Center before we headed back to our home in the City. It was a very nice day.

About Me

Lima, Ohio, United States
I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.
