Originally from Colorado, I spent a lot of time being active and in the mountains and foothills of Denver. I'm an active hiker, mountain biker, love to water ski, wake board and do pretty much anything else that keeps me active.

After growing up in Colorado, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I spent ten years. The desert is an amazing place! I hiked some pretty incredible trails...from Echo Canyon in Phoenix, to Secret Mountain Wilderness in Sedona. I learned so much about the climate in Arizona, not to mention its history and charm. And, while I loved the desert, the ocean was really where I wanted to be. In the long, hot summers of Phoenix, I would spend my weekends in San Diego, California. I had never been prior to 1997. I had heard a lot about it, but never really thought about living there until my first visit. I was completely hooked!

Over the next three years, I spent my weekends driving or flying from the desert heat to the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. I loved that ... [More]

Over the next three years, I spent my weekends driving or flying from the desert heat to the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. I loved that you could experience so many different climates all in the same place, and there was so much to see and do in San Diego, almost all of it was outdoor activity.

It wasn't until 2000 that I decided I wanted to live near the ocean and not have to worry about the Arizona heat any longer. So I packed my bags and moved to San Diego where I have been ever since! And, despite having lived here for almost 14 years now, I am amazed at the new and exciting things that I constantly discover on my various travels in and around the city. From the Cabrillo National Monument to the shores of Coronado Island, I always find something new when I am out and about.

One would think that 14 years is plenty of time to see and experience everything that San Diego has to offer, but I can attest that every day is still a new adventure waiting to be traveled or discovered. The only thing missing is you!
