History

My hometown

Laguna Woods, CA

Other places I've been

I have two (adopted) former hometowns, Boston and Sarasota, FL. I've spent several weeks in several of the following locales, Seville, Lausanne-Switzerland, Madrid, Perpignon-France, Barcelona, the Yucatan, the Bahamas, and all over Oahu. Domestically I know the State of Florida blindfolded as I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, went to Art School in Sarasota, and doubt there are more than 20 sq. miles I haven't traversed repeatedly down in "the swamp" as I refer to FL! I also lived and worked in Kansas City, while I was an Artist and Conceptual Product Designer with Hallmark Cards at their world headquarters.I simply adore Boston and Cambridge and New England generally, (once Red Sox Nation seeps into your DNA, it never leaves.) I'm currently enjoying my wonderful life here in blissful Orange County, CA.
