Host profile image
I started out my life in Kodiak, AK and have since lived all over the West Coast and the world - Oregon, Bay Area, and abroad . I moved to the Midwest to attend graduate school. Now, I'm captive to Iowa for a great job and my children who are completing high school. I couldn't live without great food, and a great book. I also enjoy a glass of wine with deep conversation.
