They only allow 3,999 characters to talk about ME, but here goes... I'm a Cali native, born and raised in the South Bay, and generally reflect the values and virtues of the community --- balanced, active, athletic, respectful of people and the environment. I've played sports all my life, and still play club soccer, as well as enjoying forays into the wilderness from time to time (just did a great hike in Big Sur...). I get plenty of the L.A. grind through work, so it's nice to get back to the ocean to slow things down, which includes those famous 'long walks on the beach at sunset'.... As far as other interests, flaws, and finer points, my profile is pretty accurate, so if you like wine and doing things, we just might get along. And what do you need to bring to the table? Let's start with genuine, robust sense of humor, active and most important, someone who values and shares her own unique individual characteristics (bonus points for occasional mischievous or quirky behavior) and smiles alot. To put it simply, I like people, not personas. Is that enough of a teaser? I'll save some details so there's no uncomfortable periods of silence when we talk...
