I've always loved storytelling. Being able to tell stories--whether in a foreign country or right here in Los Angeles--is something I don't really consider a job. It's an opportunity. I grew up in San Francisco, went to school in New York, am now in LA, and have a long long list of places I'd like to see and experience. Hopefully those of you out there who have a story to tell from your corner of the world will share them with us.
