Peter Nevins
I came up in Mill Valley CA, a redwood and fern environment just north of San Francisco, just past Sausalito. It was a great place to start. Eventually I needed to try something different so I moved to New York (West Village, East Village & Bushwick) and then I was drawn to Montréal (Plateau, Mile End). After this 7 year sojourn on the East Coast, I missed the west somehow and I moved back, this time to Portland, Oregon where I live to this day.
