Hi! I'm Dawn. Born and raised in central California. I'm an architect and own and run an architectural firm in Santa Barbara. I live part-time at Eagle Creek Ranch and part-time on my 50' Grand Banks Motor Yacht in the Santa Barbara harbor with my yellow lab, Brigitte (Bardot). I love sailing, running, cycling, cooking, and traveling, amongst many other lesser known interests such as riding on my big lawn mover, getting dolled up for a party, waxing my car, photographing birds, thrift store shopping, Netflix binging, staring at a campfire with a glass of whiskey, being corny with my friends, and playing keyboards with my girl band.
I've traveled quite a bit and lived in Florence, Italy, during school way back in 1989 where I learned to live and breathe Italian. Then I married a Frenchman...lol. Right now, it's back to English, for the most part.
I was born about 15 miles north of Los Alamos and have always loved this little town. My family roots are in the country, and I never thought I'd have a chance to get back to those roots until I bought Eagle Creek Ranch. I know I can't really call this the "country", but I can pretend... and it's nice to be able to get dirt under my nails and dust in my teeth as a change from feet in the sand and ocean mist messing up my hair.
