I came to the United States nearly twenty years ago to study Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania.

Once I had my degree I worked for NASA for ten years. Living in Washington DC and moving to San Francisco in 1996.

In 1999  I changed jobs, working for the Department of Energy at the Livermore National Laboratory and at the same time bought a small patch of Alexander Valley: A move that brought to me so many memories of cooking and winemaking, my life has never been the same.

I worked on my own for five years and now I am in Technical sales at Intel.

I have lived the last three years in Alexander Valley with my partner Ken. We have three rescued cats, Michi, Coffey and O.G. and hundreds of hummingbirds-- too many to name here.
