Nothing beats cheering on your favorite team to victory. I love rooting for my California Golden Bears in football and basketball, as I bleed blue and gold. Go Bears!....notice the coloring on my page, The photo was taken before the big game at Memorial stadium in 2000 when my brother and I were lucky enough to join the team captains for the coin toss. If you are a football fan, you might notice #97, Andre Carter on the right side of image. He ended that season with 13 sacks and went on to a long NFL career after this game.

I am also passionate about eCommerce, and online marketplaces and creating policies to educate and protect. I spent over 13 years working at eBay dealing with trust and safety issues, investigations and minimizing legal risks. It was a blast helping create a new way for the small business owner to be able to make a profitable living on the internet, while also helping minimize legal risks for the company and community.

I am constantly rooting for the underdogs and new startups of the tech world to help create a better society and further disrupt the ways of the old days. Change is good, when it is done for the right reasons. Without change, there is no growth.

During my time away from work, I enjoy hiking, exploring and am just starting to learn coding. I am on the Board of Directors for a local non-profit called Push Dance Company. You can view Vimeo video of some of their past work here. If you would like to donate, please click here: Push.

Thanks for reading my page and feel free to send me an email if you are so inclined. I am always willing to meet new people in an effort to expand my horizons and make new friends. To me, there are no strangers in this world, just friends that I have not had the chance to meet.
