Co-organizer Event Host

I'm happiest around a good table. I host our regular Friday dinners, a different cuisine each time, and on the first Friday of the month I lead the way to free live music in Los Altos afterward. I like to show new members the best local bands. I've also led our day trips to Napa and Sonoma.

I spent twenty years as a chip designer in Silicon Valley, so I appreciate a well-planned evening. Away from work, I'm drawn to travel, art, and culture. I have a soft spot for fine fragrance and desserts. And I'll happily lose a weekend to a good British detective series.

What I enjoy most as a host is watching a table of people who arrived as strangers stay long after dessert, still talking.
