I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I spent most of my 20’s living in New York, Paris and London, but I have always called the Golden State my home. California has held me as I sleep more than any place in the world. The state of California has endlessly enchanted songwriters including; The Eagles, Joni Mitchell, Roy Orbison, The Mamas & The Papas, Otis Redding, 2Pac, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more. In every forementioned song, California was the ultimate destination. 

California’s enchantment feels universal but also prohibitive. The cost of living is higher than almost any state in the US. That is a leading factor of why since 2000, California has experienced its slowest rates of growth ever recorded. Every day I count my blessings that I get to call the beautiful Valley of Heart’s Delight my home. One of my goals of the year was to share everything I love about San Jose and all of the cities I have lived in or enjoy visiting. Now, on my newly launched website and I will be adding my city guides one by one. My website is also a place to find information about my real estate listings and my art advisory which helps connect people with artists I love.
