About Me
I like working and playing hard. I recently moved to Northern California and love the weather. Two buzzwords to help influence everyone's daily strength: resilience and joy. There should definitely be more joy in life.

Interests
I love eating, practicing yoga, and doing new things. I can't remember the last time I was superbly passionate about something. Maybe I need a new hobby?

Open Back Pain
I was in a car accident 2 yrs ago, and was in P/T for 6 mos. The pain is back on massive attack, culminating from work stress and sitting at computers 15 hrs/day. I wish chiropractors were still effective on me. I live with pain daily. Feels like a knife in my left shoulder blade.
