About Ashley

I grew up in Long Beach, California (and went to the same high school as Cameron Diaz and Snoop Dogg—though not at the same time), before heading north to UC Davis for my undergraduate degree. I met my husband Aron there, and we both spent the next five years in Los Angeles getting our advanced degrees. Then, just weeks after our wedding and honeymoon, we moved across the country to Manhattan. Aron completed his Urology residency at NYU and I worked as a book editor at a publishing house, and in our spare time we started writing Hither & Thither together about our adventures (that often felt as exotic as any) in a new city we had come to love.

Today our home is in Northern California, in the very same university town of Davis where we first met and fell in love, with our two children—Hudson and Skyler, ages 7 and 4—and our affectionate cocker spaniel, Sawyer.

Aron is a practicing Urologist and I am a blogger—telling stories and taking photographs—and a stay-at-home parent. I’ve written a bit about my career path and what I’m proud of.
