About Me

I live in northern California. I was raised in Colorado in an awesome mountain town, which I still call home.

I have a son that I am so proud of.

I am honest, I love witty humor, good friends, and trees swaying in the breeze.

I love relaxing under the stars and sharing a good bottle of wine.

More than anything I hope humans will truly respect animals and our planet someday soon.

My favorite places to hang out are the mountains and the ocean away from the craziness of the grind. I have a great appreciation for ancient art and cultures from the Dark Ages through the Medeival Period.

I have always had a great love for animals, wild and domestic. I spend a good amount of time raising awareness and funds to support the conservation of captive wildlife; www.pawsweb.org.

Maggie Takes a Walk on the Wild Side at PAWS ARK 2000I like hiking and riding my mtn. bike, going to the ocean and putting my feet in the sand, real people, most music except country, hanging out with friends, sharing a good bottle of wine in front of a fire and playing in the snow under a full moon...Try it some time, you'll understand what I mean.

I have a fascination with Roman and Medieval history, art and the structures from these eras.
