About Me

For those of you who have no idea who I am or who I have become in my old age (aaaaah… 36 is coming fast), here it is…
I finally figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up and went to school for it. I have my degree in Culinary Arts and have opened two restaurants (unfortunately not of my own… I don’t have the funding). I currently run the new restaurant at the Buttery in Santa Cruz. Someday I will open something of my own… just have to win the lottery first.
I have a son who is 10 (and a half) and is going into 5th grade. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO? He is the light of my life and I could not imagine my life with out him. He is creative, smart and gorgeous (which means no girl is going to be good enough for him…lol).
My partner in crime is a wonderful man that I met the old fashion way… in a club. Yep, for you locals you will understand… we met at the Catalyst. His pick up line was “didn’t you go to Santa Cruz High?” Come to find out we went to school with each other since Jr. High (Gus from SCHS class of ’87).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People from my past... I would love to get in touch with people I have known.
