When he isn’t interpreting the most recent revisions to Federal Organic Policy or collaborating with vendors and customers around the world, he can be found exploring the Oregon wilderness looking for the coldest water to swim in, trying a new recipe from his collection of Southeast Asian cookbooks, or planning his next international trip.
