There is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it.

About

I grew up in the Philippines and migrated to the USA with my family in 1971. I was 13 at the time.  My parents were already in the US for a year before we followed.  I am the oldest of 4  (2 boys and 2 girls).

I am pretty active with sports such as tennis and golf and I love playing the piano.  With a mindset that anyone can do pretty much anything if you put your mind to it, I play the guitar and the ukulele and  dabble in painting using acrylic paint as my medium and am in the process of learning how to paint with watercolor.  I still have aspirations of learning how to play the cello.

I know everyone in this business say they love to travel, but I really do love to travel.  I love to drive to my destination as opposed to flying, since I see more of the country doing so, and I get to stop at places that intrigues me or take little detours of little towns if time allows me.

I have worked in corporate America as a programmer/business analyst, but I also have worked as a High School tennis coach and taught tennis at a camp for 5 summers during my college years working with kids from ages 9-16.

I like to have a good time and enjoy my downtime with my family and friends

Fun Fact!
I love wine from drinking it and learning the nuances of it. I worked at Trader Joe's and would do a wine tasting class where customers can sign up for. I choose the wine and cheese to pair with the wines we are tasting and talk about each wine.
Hobbies & Interests
I love playing the piano to pass the time playing mostly classical music. Would love to be able to play jazz. I also play the guitar and the ukulele. Tennis is my sport for a lifetime. I see myself playing this until I can no longer walk. It is how I meet new people when we move to a different city. It has brought me many good friends. I also play pickle ball and padel (a combination of tennis and racquetball). I love to work using my hands like knitting, painting (acrylic), gardening, sewing and even doing upholstery. And I am very passionate about wine. Tasting and teaching friends about wine.
