My background

• IN THE BEGINNING...
  I was born in Los Angeles, and lived most of my life in Thousand Oaks, California, a pretty cool (if a bit boring) distant suburb of LA.
• BRAVERY
  Courageously abandoning the heavenly sunny weather of Southern California, I did my undergrad at Northwestern University, double majoring in Communication Studies and Political Science.
• STUDIOUSNESS
  Continuing on in the midwest, I studied law and business (dual program for JD/MBA) at Indiana University, in Bloomington -- with a specialization in International Electronic Communications and Commerce -- and miraculously finished in four years.

My interests

• MUSIC
  Performance (piano, choral) and composition (piano, choral, and other stuff when I'm feeling brave).  Though sadly I haven't done much music stuff in a while :(
• OTHER CULTURED STUFF
  Going to the theatre, listening to good choirs, traveling
• OUTDOORS
  Swimming, hiking, horseback riding, the beach (well, at least when I was in warmer Southern California!). Sadly, I don't seem to do much of this stuff nowadays :(.
• SOCIAL
  Meeting a wide variety of people, though I value my alone-time as well. I especially love having long meals with friends. Good company and fine food... how can you beat that?
• DANCE
  Lindy Hop (swing)! My devotion is seemingly cult-like (including two pilgrimages to the Sweden, home of the largest swing dance camp in the world) but nonetheless fun and very social. I also enjoy waltzing, especially rotary waltz.
• GEEKY STUFF
  Learning about new people-oriented technologies (particularly different communications tools) and understandably a lot of stuff having to do with Google.

My future

• PRIORITIES
  This is a toughie.  Still working this out.  In a nutshell: balance.
• MUSIC
  I hope to always be involved with something musical, because that's a key passion of mine.  Currently, most of my music-time is associated with dancing, but I also hope to soon dabble in music composition once again.  Check out my music hub for any latest stuff.
• FITNESS
  I'm in better shape now in my 30's than I was in my 20's, logging 3+ hours at the gym and 3+ hours on the dance floor weekly.
