I spend my free time with my family. When the weather is nice, we like to go to the beach or hike the trails in Mairn County. I like to travel. I love Paris. I love Hawaii. I don't have "hobbies" unless you count all of the times that I have tried to learn to knit. I enjoy puttering around my garden listening to music.. I grew up in Fresno. My dad is an almond grower. I always say that Fresno was a nice place to grow up. We skied in the winter and spent our summers in Santa Cruz. I have lived in the Bay Area ever since I left Fresno to go to college. I have lived in Marin County for almost thirty years.
