I've been working hard most of my life and can finally take some time to enjoy more activities and travel. I love Europe, but find our backyard here in the Bay Area offers a wealth of extraordinary adventures, whether it’s a lazy weekend at Russian river, new wineries in Napa, or Hearst Castle. I’m a fan of technology and gadgets and have most of my home tricked out with various unnecessary devices (how many screens do we really need to access the web and Netflix!) I enjoy reading and learning new things in life. I should read more of the classics, but find myself drawn to modern books. I have a growing list of hobbies but it’s hard to name them all here. My goal for the next stage of my life is to contribute and strive to make a positive impact on the world.
