Bio

Living in Northern California with my wife, two dogs and one old cat, running my own company. 11 years ago I traveled to Nepal, not really looking for anything, just knowing that I was bored with my life and my job. I came across a wonderful paper there and had a meeting with the group of 9 women who produced it. I left all of my clothes there and packed my suitcases full of samples and started knocking on doors here in the states. The group is now 45 women and 15 men an we are the largest importer of Fair Trade Nepali Paper in the US.
