About
I was born in the central valley of California, but the exact farm isn't nessesary because we moved soon after to the east bay. Thankfully my grandma got me into competitive sailing at a young age where I exceled in the sailing life which allowed me to travel the globe before I could legally drink. I went to college and was captain of the sailing team, which was a fun escape from college homework.
Fast forward a bit, and knowing I love to travel I was lucky to get a job offer in Switzerland and I jumped. This taught me more about myself than anything in life before this big move. I do miss the Euro life, and maybe I'll move back when I plan time to relax. I love the ocean, and like the desert once in a while. I throw clay pottery and I feel it is very grounding. I am a connector of people and enjoy my alone-time when I can grab it.
