....where to start. i have lived in a few different places, but have eventually always come back to california. i was born and raised in fresno, and got out of there when i was 18 and moved to santa cruz for college. lived there for six years before heading to new york for culinary school. after doing a four month internship in utah and graduating from culinary school, i moved back to california and decided to make san francisco my home, and that was just about a year ago.
initially i thought i was going to hate living in such a big city with so many people and places and things going on, but i have fallen for it in the worst way. my friends are amazing and i couldn't think of being anywhere else at this point in my life.

right now, i am trying to figure out how i can take all of the things i enjoy doing, and roll them all together and make a lot of money doing it. my friend and i have an idea, so hopefully it will take off.

cooking, mixing drinks, listening, and making people laugh.

my smile, my hair, or the most recent burn that i have recieved in my very dangerous line of work.

Books: My Life in France, Kitchen Confidential, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, poetry, anything by David Sedaris

Movies: I love a good horror movie, but am a sap for romantic comedies

Music: Honestly just about everthing, but some of my favorites are: The Decemberists, MGMT, Metric, Phoenix, Damion Rice, Kate Nash, Tegan and Sara, Whitney Houston, Modest Mouse, Lionel Richie, and on and on...

Food: just about everthing except paella, I don't know why but I just don't like the stuff

...oh well, I put seven...

how, when I do meet someone, they will never go hungry because I love to cook, and just want someone to cook for besides myself...soon enough I guess.

either working or hanging out with my friends having a cocktail or two...

I am starting to feel my age. I'm actually at the point in my life where it would be great to meet someone I'd rather hang out alone with above hangin with my friends.and by the looks of my pics, only those from above or below look decent. Oh, and I'm 1/4 German, 1/4 Italian, and 1/2 Black...and proud of it.

You simply enjoy having a good time and truely know that it is important to not take yourself too seriously, and also know how to laugh at yourself every now and then...
