About Me

I work at a successful company in high tech - there's never a dull moment at work. I live near the beach and harbor and like to take walks and have bonfires there often. I enjoy growing my own organic herbs, vegetables and cut flowers. I study the medicinal properties of herbs - I prefer herbs and acupuncture to western medicine and huge pharmacutical companies.I volunteer with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary as a docent kayaking around Elkhorn Slough talking to people about the birds and mammals they see, and choices they have when they cast their ballot. It's the coolest volunteer gig ever!In an effort to leave a lighter footprint on this earth, I just got an electric scooter and I'm charging it on the solar power generated by my employer. I'm saving about 50 miles in gas a week and having the time of my life....

My Interests
