I've lived in Portland's Ladd's Addition neighborhood since 1992 originally hailing from L.A. and living for a few years each in NYC, Maui and the eastern Sierra Mountains. Hospitality is in my DNA, having previously managed vacation rentals in Nicaragua and on Maui. I'm a passionate backpacker, fly fisher and cyclist and gardener, growing perennials and organic vegetables. I love to eat and seek out new fine dining opportunities as well as unique food trucks and I'm happy to share them with you. During your stay, I can lay low, offering privacy or be a resource for your intro to Portland's many interesting offerings. For inspiration, these evocative words speak volumes to me.
