About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Host and possibly visit other CSers to broaden circle of acquaintances from around the world. Enjoy spreading all the good cheer and warmth of the locals of the Baja region.

ABOUT ME

Having been brought up on the border of California/Mexico, it was only natural that one would be bi-lingual, which afforded me the opportunity to travel and live in Spain during my college career. After that experience I was co-publisher of a bilingual tabloid (size) publication in the Long Beach/LA region. Many other career choices flourished before, during and after these. Am striving (and practicing) to improve my piano technique as of late.
