Originally from LA (The Valley), I have relocated to the edge of the Bay Area with my family. For a living, I specialize in designing retail stores for a Fortune 500 company.  For fun, I run on trails, road and in races.  My goal this year is to do this challenge, PR in 10k and do a hike with my family (toddler on carrier/all-terrain wagon) in Mount Shasta for my birthday. I love mother nature. I've experienced a volcano erupt at close range when I was 6, and then a couple years later 6.7 earthquake to shake things up. I've swam in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in my 20s and sky dived in my early 30s. I can not wait to see how I wrap up my 30s.
