Risa Quade

A native of Knierim, Iowa, Risa came face-to-face with the West while unearthing the underground secrets of Pendleton, poking her nose into Petaluma's antique treasure troves, and wandering the back alleyways of San Francisco's Chinatown. Formerly VIA's Events Editor, Risa has returned to her home state where she freelances as a writer and photographer.
