Throughout my life and career, I’ve been blessed with a network of wise elders, trusted vendors, advisors, and lifetime friends. I am big on connecting good people to one another. Please feel free to reach out to the resources below. Many are from the Bay Area (Northern California), and there are some that travel across the nation or have resources in multiple locations.
P.S… if you ever run across Grandmother and I (pictured above), you are free to call her your Grandma. She loves all of my friends like her own.
