Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! I am originally from California and have been traveling quite a bit over the last 10 years or so. I lived in Chengdu, China for a few years working in startups and also Rome and Prague for a few months each. Altogether, I am pretty casual and easy going... how else can one live? I enjoy all sorts of environments; the city, the mountains, the beach. Life is a cocktail: you need a bit of balance for flavor.
