Creating Great Life Experiences Through Good Food, Travel & Connections
Hello!
Thanks for visiting my website, which tells you a bit about me and connects you to my current work as an Artisan Food Concierge, consultant, and food blogger.
If we haven’t met, in a nutshell, I live to create and experience good things and help other people do the same.
My work and personal life intertwine with both passion and skills related to producing great experiences related to the Internet, food, travel, and business – across the U.S. and beyond.
As a California native, active Yelper, Slow Foodie, and confirmed road tripper, I’ve explored and love promoting our great food producers (especially chocolatiers!), farmers’ markets, beaches, friends, and the joys of city living.
Knowing a few languages and participating in social networks since the early days, I love meeting people of other cultures, making friends, helping out through sites like Meetup, Couch Surfing, and Instructables (Check ‘em out if you haven’t heard of any of these!)

How can I help you do something great for your customers?
One answer: I’m happy to be working on concierge services to support and connect artisan food producers with all sorts of resources and people wanting to create great customer experiences through the best sustainably produced foods. I love partnering with others and if this idea sounds interesting or related to your work, let’s chat!
As Food Artisan Relations Manager (FARM) for Foodzie.com I had the pleasure of working with over 250 small artisan food producers to sell on Foodzie’s e-commerce marketplace, combining my background in Internet marketing and passion for merchandising good food.
I’ve written about starting food businesses, discovered many producers around the country during travels and through connections, created an online community, took lots of scrumptious food photos and videos, and promoted our food producer partners in the Foodzie blog and other social media. Oh, and tasted lots of amazing delicious creations.
(O Magazine said ““If you have only 10 minutes: Shop the gourmet marketplace at foodzie.com, which offers a smorgasbord of goodies from small producers nationwide.” Nice!)
Passions…
Helping people brainstorm and figure out how to achieve their goals and start businesses fulfills me no end.
A few years ago I concocted SuperViva Life Lists, a top-ranked “bucket list making” site to help people live full lives, working with an outsourced development team. It’s been very exciting how many people have achieved their goals with thanks to SuperViva.
All of the above draws upon my many years working at Internet startups and agencies in strategy, production and account management. (I’ve also become a sort of WordPress wonk and reluctantly admit I’m a whiz at QA.)
You may have guessed, I love to travel near and far, shoot photos, and meet lots of great people along the way.
