About Me

I'm an easy going yet very driven individual and I've been blessed with an amazing family and some great friends. I grew up in Hawaii for 14 years of my life, and I've also lived in Portland, OR, spent about two and a half years in New Mexico, then moved to San Francisco for about a year. I loved the city but Santa Fe was calling me back so I moved back here in Jan. of '07 with the plan of opening my own restaurant in the next 2 years. I also plan to return to Europe for a visit in the not too distant future cause I love it over there, and sometimes you just gotta get away from the Americans. I hope to connect with some old friends via this myspace universe and possibly make some new ones as well.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
