My Life.

I live in a little town between LA and Santa Barbara in Southern California with my husband of 30 years, Paul, and our three sons, Ty, Kaden and Grant.  And our dog Violet which is my only girl for now, but I sure hope to have 3 daughternlaws one day and many grandchildren! We live on a couple acres with a baseball batting cage and a surfboard shaping bay and a big field out front that I hope will one day be home to the horses and the barn I dream about! I LOVE being a mom to boys, it’s been the best thing of my entire life. Before I was a mom I worked for Chiat/Day, an advertising agency in Venice, California.  It was an incredible experience working on iconic brands with the best creative minds in the world.  I got stories for days from that time of my life. For the past 25 years I have been an assistant to a family and it has been the privilege of my life to have an intersting job and relationship with this special family while raising my own.   

I love home and I try to be home to the people in my life prioritizing relationship and robust conversation around the table most every night.  I didn’t grow up knowing how to cook - I have made it a goal to learn to cook and I try and sometimes have to throw it out and pickup Thai food!  But most days I light the candles and turn on the music and we have a really good time around the table together. I’m a boy mom and I have found my place inside of this.  We are a big baseball family and most days you can find me watching my sons on the baseball field or watching them surf, or spending time on the golf course while the guys play.   You probably won’t find someone more crazy about their sons. I already know when they get married I will need to wear beige and smile!  I love hiking over the ocean and the beauty of California never ceases to amaze me.  I do a lot of mentoring girls up on trails of the Santa Monica mountains.  The girls I mentor are like daughters to me and I love them deeply from my heart.
