Try to catch up with those lives changed, lose yourself with what remains

About Me

25 years old, redhead. I like people, love my family. I like avocados and sushi and syrah, hate pot roast and meatloaf. I like the smell of new rain on dirty asphalt, weird I know. I dig music and how it makes me think and feel. I was born in the bay area (Oakland) and have most of my family up there (East Bay and Fremont/San Jose area). I have a thing for girls that wear glasses. Living in San Diego for the time being, opening a luxury hotel in the Gaslamp District. My window looks onto the North side of the skyline.

My Interests

Music, as mentioned above. movies, spending the day watching bad films with great lines. Running on the beach almost daily. Sushi has become pretty damn good. Laughing, loving, giving and taking.
