About Me

http://www.calpolylink.com/s/699/index.aspx?sid=699&gid= 1&pgid=428&cid=1104&ecid=1104&crid=0&cal pgid=61&calcid=887Before I launch into me, I must ask, have you seen The Discovery Channel's PLANET EARTH?!?!?! Dude, tune in......Grew up in southern California. I'm a beach girl at heart. Lived the SLO life during college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Became a wildlife biologst, and chased bugs and bunnies at remote areas in California, Mexico, Hawaii, and Colorado.After college, travelled a bit through the Middle East, then moved to Hawaii. After two and half years of balmy tropical life and lots of papayas and mangos, I relocted to San Francisco to live a cosmopolitan city life. Two years of working in environmental consulting in the Bay Area, and I was ready for change again. So, I traded staff meetings and conference calls for life in the high country, and headed to Breckenridge, CO. Spent two and half fun-filled years snowboarding, mountain biking, and servin up food and drinks at Downstairs at Eric's.However, this beach girl is not built for sub-zero temperaturs at 10,000 feet, and so I recently migrated to beautiful Boulder, CO. Now I work in sales, spend time with my friends, and make the most of life. However, currently recovering from knee surgery:(I got my layout at Cleanupmyspace.com
