I'm an East Coast transplant with a life-long fascination with San Francisco. I’m fascinated with Bay Area culture and history and I’m well-versed not only in area attractions but also the stories behind them. As a writer and storyteller, I'm intrigued by San Francisco's many stories, especially the tales of creativity, innovation that the city was founded on and that continue to make this city the unique place that it is today. I love meeting new people and sharing my city with them - and my experience as a stand-up comic helps keep the guests on my tours engaged and entertained. Full profile ⋅ Leave a Review
