Q & A

  • What does “living your best Bay Area Life” mean to you?

    Living my best Bay Area life means embracing the incredible diversity and character of San Francisco’s neighborhoods. The neighborhoods are not just places to live; they are vibrant communities filled with life and personality, each contributing to the overall beauty and allure that make San Francisco one of the world's most beloved cities. I even enjoy the foggy summers in the Richmond and Sunset districts… but my wife strongly disagrees.
  • If you volunteer for a charity, which one(s) and why?

    I volunteer at the SF and Marin Food Bank, where I help box food in the warehouse and deliver it to those in need. This cause is important, and it reminds me of how many people in our community are food insecure. No one should go hungry, especially here in the Bay Area, and I enjoy volunteering for the SF and Marin Food Bank because of its direct impact.
  • Three words to describe the Bay Area.

    Innovative. Resilient. Fun.
