ABOUT ME
I grew up in the outskirts of Los Angeles, in a small town that borders a wilderness area where coyote roam. Occasionally they'd venture out into our street! Early travel adventures include a year in Tahiti, and sailing around Tahiti on a 40 foot trimaran sailboat that my dad built with his own hands. More recent trips include Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, England, France, Spain, Morocca and India. I've also trekked from LA to Denver, and from Phoenix to Oklahoma City. SF Bay Area is my ideal base camp, and my future travel plans include just about everywhere else.
PHILOSOPHY
Curious, open-minded, and daring
Fiercely protective of everyone I love
Highly athletic. Like to run, play tennis and swing kettlebells
Will share a drink with a friend anytime
Advocate for animal kindness; Love dogs and all that runs wild
