Sometimes I’m in San Rafael de Heredia Costa Rica
Other times I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area, California

I consider myself a writer, editor, translator and instructor. But these days, I’m mostly retired! TicoLog? It’s a personal project that covers Costa Rican local governments and politics. Why? Well, I figured somebody in the world might like to know and understand how this tiny country operates at the local level, and, how its democratic system and institutions hold it all together.
I’m a citizen journalist who’s been away from the field for a long time. However, the idea of starting TicoLog stuck with me, and now I apply my limited expertise in both journalism and political science to make this project a reality.
