I’m an East Coast transplant, from historic Annapolis Maryland. San Francisco and the Bay Area have been like a second home for me since 1980, when my aunt and uncle relocated to Palo Alto. After years visiting and falling in love with the bay area, I decided to make the move myself. I arrived in California almost 9 years ago and have loved everything from the weather to the abundant activities the bay area offers. I kicked off this journey in San Francisco and very quickly discovered the East Bay, specifically Walnut Creek. It just felt right so I moved across the bridge and I’ve called it home ever since.
