I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a night person. I'm an excellent parallel parker. I'm half artist and half accountant and can never decide which I'd rather do. I grew up in Southern California but was born a San Franciscan at heart. I have a great sense of direction yet always get lost in the East Bay. If I could live anywhere I'd have places in SF, Chicago, Paris and Costa Rica and just keep travelling from one to the other and back again. Sculptures speak to me but I'm usually underwhelmed by paintings. I'm a Leo. I don't understand modern dance. I used to be a cat person but am becoming a dog person. I think San Francisco is the most beautiful city in the world. I've lived here for 12 years and just cresting a hill can still take my breath away.

My Interests

Hiking, Biking, Playing on the swings, Lazing around the house, Curling up with an old movie or a great book, Cooking up a storm for friends, Dancing in the rain
