"Water is deeply ingrained in the work I do with agriculture and ecological systems. I also make it a priority to play on all types of water: skiing, rafting, paddling, and swimming. It’s inextricable from our identity as humans on this planet! I love living in Durango; our community borders both desert and mountains, with a river at the heart!"
