ABOUT ME

Hey Surfers! I just got my dream job in San Francisco so now I'm in the Noe Valley right in the heart of San Francisco. Only a block away from all the local boutiques, bars, and restaurants in a classic 1880's era remodeled Victorian house. I might not be the best tour guide right now as I'm not super familiar with the city; but I'll certainly be excited about exploring all that it has to offer right along with you.
I like doing off beat things, touring buildings in the area (urban exploration) meeting new and different people,talking to everyone, and generally living life to the fullest. I pride myself on being respectful and non judgemental and offering a helping hand whenever and wherever I can!

I have lived all over the World including: Surfing in Hawaii for a few years, studying architecture and medicine in Chicago, growing up in Colorado, cross country hiking and survival training in Thailand, Red Cross/Humanitarian missions in the Phillippines, training with Japanese soldiers on three different islands in Japan including Hokkaiddo, Tokyo, and Okinawa, partying in New Orleans for a year, and now the glorious Southern California/Los Angeles!

So, what do you like to do? Museums, Art, Parks, Hiking, History, Dive Bars, local eateries, cable cars, Fishermans Wharf, Bike riding/Skateboarding/surfing, Beach Volleyball, bonfires, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito....
