CURRENT MISSION

be happy, make others happier as well

ABOUT ME

All? Hmm, Love Berkeley and everything about Northern California and feel like a kid in a candy shop 10 years since moving out here. I love my job(s) - As a consultant, I get to help people figure out hard problems, and as a teacher, well, I get to help people some more. Outside of work, I love to cook and exercise, read and spend time with my daughters.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life? Easy, to enjoy it myself and make others happy as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies sadly have gone completely by the way-side post-children, ashamedly. Having been watching some old and new Masterpiece shows though at home on hulu (not upstairs/downstairs). Books - Food Politics, anything by Michael Pollan, Harold McGee. Regularly read New Yorker and the NYT

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a bicycle guide in Italy was a pretty amazing job,you're a traveling host to a place that I love and is beautiful. But, that was a while ago. Living in Northern California offers some amazing sights as well such as hike from Tenn Valley to Muir beach, Mount Diablo waterfall trail, and frequent run along the Selby Trail in Tilden.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably teach how to cook from making ricotta cheese to stocks to souffles. Italian language. Excel tricks anyone???
