Alexandra (Xan) Gerson Xan hails from Rouses Point, a tiny, idyllic town in northern New York. After a brief stint in the midwest, Xan landed in Seattle for law school and never looked back. When she isn't at work, Xan can be found doing stereotypical Seattle things, such as hiking, walking her dog around Greenlake, enjoying any number of local microbreweries, hanging out with her husband, and finding creative ways to entertain a toddler. |
