Things I feel passionately about, in no particular order:

• Food.
• Public radio, especially NPR and the PRI show The World.
• Old-school barbershops. I highly recommend Lefty’s Barbershop in San Diego and Longview Barbershop in Columbus, Ohio.
• The trumpet.

• Soccer. See my now defunct website Culture of Soccer. My favorite general soccer news website is the Guardian.
• Running.
• Gardening.
• Diego, the dog that my partner Rachel and I got in the summer of 2011.
