ABOUT ME
I grew up in San Francisco and am now enjoying all that the East Bay has to offer. I love to travel and to experience new people, cultures, and beautiful wild spots.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that humans are all connected and there's a certain social responsibility to take care of each other. I live each day trying to be the best, most morally-upright person I can.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love to read and I love books.. some of my favorites are Fingersmith by Sarah Waters; The Talisman, The Eyes of the Dragon, and the Dark Tower series by Stephen King; The Alchemist by Paolo Coehlo; anything Philippa Gregory.
Lately, my favorite movies have been comedies like "The Hangover", "I Love You, Man", "Pineapple Express", "Step-Brothers", and "Role Models".
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My life's greatest accomplishment to date was hiking to the top of Half Dome. The 18 mile round-trip hike is challenging enough, but that final last climb up to the top is terrifying. With lots of help and support, I made it!
