I moved to Europe immediately after graduating college, and spent most of the 80's working in Germany, Italy and France. I have always had a great love of all things European, and I speak, read and write fluent Italian, German and French. My first real job, my first apartment - the first time I "made my own chimney smoke," as my father used to say, was in Europe. I am enamoured of the European lifestyle - especially the cuisine!!

I enjoy most sports. I had the good fortune to grow up in Connecticut, where we had four distinct (brutally distinct) seasons. I was further fortunate enough to have a family that made all things possible: Boy Scouts and camping, swimming, golfing and water skiing in the summer, downhill skiing in the winter. I am currently experimenting with rollerblading and snowboarding, but I think I'll probably stick with my mountain bike and long boards.Motorcycling is something I started doing when I moved to Northern California. I love it! I have a classic older BMW (boxer) and it is fully rigged for long trips as well as jetting about town.
