I'm one of those recent “Californian transplants”. I fell victim to Portland’s magnetic pull seven years ago. I was on an eight-week road trip in 2011 when I stopped into the Rose city for a day and a half to visit a friend. That's all it really took for me to fall in love with the city and promise myself that I would move to Portland the following year. I'm one to keep my promises and did exactly that. I love exploring the city especially by bike
As passionate as I am about coding I have hobbies that get me away from the screen. I ride and maintain a Honda Cbr RR motorcycle. I love experiencing new things through travel and exploring the city by bike, discovering new art, food and brews. But what keeps me centered is my love of gardening. I love tending to my plants, figuring out what they need, informing myself through research and past journals on how to improve with each following year.
Other hobbies that I enjoy are: snowboarding, (thankfully we are quite close to Mt. Hood), , Mountain biking, Soccer, surfing, building things, and taking things apart. I’m also a bit of a gym rat; I love trying to set new PR’s at the gym.
