My husband, Gary, and I have been best friends since we met in Sonoma County in 1984. Outdoor enthusiasts, we love to hike, bike, kayak, canoe, swim, backpack, cross country ski, and run (well, Gary still does that)! But we also enjoy attending the symphony, theater in San Francisco, and of course gourmet food! A fine artist, Gary loves the vibrant artistic community in Sonoma County, and he will share with you the secrets of where to visit artists working in their studios. He loves the quality of the light here and the beauty of the natural world. A psychotherapist and teacher, I appreciate the focus many people here have on personal growth, health, wellness, and consciousness-raising. As a writer, I love the quiet peaceful feel of the land. We have a son who owns a design and fabrication studio in Brooklyn, NY, and a daughter who works in advertising and marketing in Kansas City, MO.
