California has a bit of everything from snow, desert, beach, agriculture... we’ve got so much variety in the land and especially in the people. I mean, it’s a total melting pot. In California, you can put 10 people in a room and you'd have a very contrasting perspective of what people's values are, where they want to be, and who they want to be... but I think the commonality in it all is the adoration for what a great place we all live in.
California has really given me a place to thrive, to plant seeds, to grow, and to have a foundation to branch out into other parts of the world, always coming back with a greater perspective of where I live.
