Jesse Aizenstat sought his education far from his home waters of Southern California, including a stint in tribal Aboriginal Australia and an Armenia-to-Georgia hitchhiking saga worthy of its own book. At 26 years old, he has been published in The San Francisco Chronicle, The Huffington Post, The Surfer's Journal, and The Santa Barbara Independent. A midnight rambler and connoisseur of Kentucky bourbon, he is also a devotee of the outdoors and exploring the limits of personal power. He can often be found surfing the frigid, pre-dawn chaos from San Francisco through the Mexican borders.
