April 2023

In the summer of 2021, I drove with my family from San Francisco to Kennebunkport, Maine, via the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, and Niagara Falls. Spent the summer in Maine, then relocated to Baltimore. Since then we’ve been living in Ruxton. Our son, Ethan, completed sixth and seventh grades at Gilman and our daughter, Stella, completed fourth and fifth grades at Bryn Mawr. After a two-year stint in Maryland, we will be returning to the SF Bay Area in June 2023, living in our former neighborhood in Marin County. It was a phenomenal experience living back near my old home, spending more time with family and Gilman '94 classmates, too (see pic)! Lots of resilience building for the kids. I’m both sad to leave Maryland and excited to return to California, but especially enjoyed more time back on the Gilman campus.
