Currently living in Kona, Hawaii. Grew up near Syracuse and have lived in Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, and most recently, Key West. Besides food, my other love is film and I consider myself an overly critical critic. I started my life as an engineer but through life's interesting twists, eventually owned, and sold off, a successful small hotel. I am happily "not employed" as I travel the world with my husband and 3 numb-nut dogs.
