About me
Born and raised in So. California. Currently in SF Bay Area. Lived in Barcelona various years, traveled extensively in Spain, So. France and most of W. Europe.
Chief interests are music (listening to and also playing the guitar), traveling (bien sur!), electronics engineering (hey, you gotta eat), history (specifically Medieval European history), languages (I am fluent in Spanish and can get by in French; I know a smattering of other Euro tongues), and good food and wine.
I currently travel to Beijing, China a lot on business. Also Shenzhen, China.
