He grew up in Sacramento and attended UC Davis, where he majored in English. His latest obsession is Sudoku on the New York Times Web site.   A native of Tennessee, Kendy Veazie lives in the Palisades and has worked for the Post for four years. She volunteers weekly for Stand-up for Kids, a charity dedicated to helping homeless teens, and recently went hang-gliding in Malibu.
