I grew up in the PNW, attended Oregon State University, and from there had to get away from the rain. I spent 13 years on San Diego before moving to Phoenix, AZ. After a few years in Phoenix, I relocated to Las Vegas, NV for a few years before returning to the Phoenix area. I am a health and fitness junky, enjoy exploring new cities, travel, new cuisines, and a good IPA or Whiskey on the weekend.
