| Introduction | i live with my wife kim, our daughter hannah, our pug, and two cats in our new house in healdsburg. wine country living is great ... especially since i quit drinking beer and can really drink in the scenery. we both work from home. kimmy's a recruiter, and i do consulting for web and email marketing projects. the commute is great, the office romance is hot, and the animals make every work day entertaining. i grew up in petaluma, the butter and egg capital of the world (or at least it was). i went to grinnell college in iowa, where i majored in chinese. i met kimmy right before going off to thailand for a couple of weeks ... came back, we both got laid off, so we moved to south florida. we got married in may, 2003 at landmark vineyard in kenwood. finally, in 2004, we moved back to CA. it only took us a month or so to find a house ... in healdsburg much to our surprise ... and with the help of my third grade teacher turned realtor, actually got it and moved in in august. it's been smooth sailing since then. we've done a lot of work on the house, met some folks here in town, and now we have an actual family unit. good times. |
