Hello Deviants.

Today marks my 9 year anniversary joining DEVART. So much has happened since that time. I really wouldn't know where to start. When I think about it these past 9 years has flown by but to look at all that has transpired doesn't seem possible for only 9 years.

I am living in Seattle working for Microsoft as a Marketing Program Manager. I have a lovely house with my two dogs, Rita and Larry, and live alone. I see a lot of shows here in Seattle and have amazing friends. It's been tough though .. moving so far away from everyone and all I knew but I do love this city and can't imagine living anywhere else. It's been 2 and half years since I moved here and although there were times I just wanted to pack it in and move back to Texas .. I stayed and am enjoying my life here. There is so much to do you couldn't possibly get to everything in a lifetime .. but I will try. My life consists of work, art openings, galleries, book signing/readings, live shows, hanging out with my girlfriends, restaurants, neighborhood bars and always on the go. I got my motorcycle endorsement and hope to get a bike this winter when the prices drop. I am looking for a pre-owned Ninja 500. This WILL happen!

Also, I am now a pescatarian (veggie who eats fish) and have recipes here on my blog:

I hope you all are well and would love to hear from you.
