Internationally, 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water at home. Over 2 million Americans do not have hot and cold running water and a working restroom. Americans across the country are drinking unsafe and unhealthy water everyday! In a stunning paradox, Americans who do have clean running water use over 100 gallons
Internationally, 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water at home. Over 2 million Americans do not have hot and cold running water and a working restroom. Americans across the country are drinking unsafe and unhealthy water everyday! In a stunning paradox, Americans who do have clean running water use over 100 gallons per day each.
That's more than any other
county in the world!
I know we can do better!

I also hold a bachelor's in Communications, a master's in Ethnic Studies and enjoyed a lengthy career in
documentary film production.
I spend most of my time in the southwestern United States, learning and talking about water, soaking in natural hot springs, patronizing locally owned restaurants, walking on the beach and visiting obscure wonders of art and nature.
I love sharing stories, laughs and
fun artisanal beverages with family and friends. If you see me please introduce yourself. I'd love to meet you and talk water!
