Diana Kapp

My journalism has taken me inside San Quentin prison, and to deepest Afghanistan. I have covered teen suicide clusters in Palo Alto, apps and bots to fight depression, and my dad falling headlong in love at 85. My path to writing has been circuitous. I've worked for a senator and a biotech start-up, made ads for Nike, and helped launch women's sportswear retailer Lucy. I went to Stanford and got an MBA. I've lived in Kenya, and the Haight. I love the Sawtooth Mountains, Neil Young, my 5am running club, and climbing mountains. I wish I could play guitar and sing, but I have no talent. I'm a wannabe "rancher."
