I'm definitely not all work/no play though. My career takes me all over the world, so I'll make time to explore the glittering streets of Hong Kong, sample the creamy gelatos in Italy, and haggle in the street markets of Rio. But most of the time I'm happiest in good ol' Seattle. You can't beat the fresh seafood and craft beers, plus it's got some of the best paddle boarding on the planet, even if it is a little chilly. And don't even get me

started on all those mountain views... As much as love the city, beautiful weekends are made for rounding up friends and hiking on Mount Rainier. We haven't spotted Bigfoot yet, but we're still looking. And when it's cold out, we'll head for Whistler's ski slopes - or Hawaii's just a short flight

away.

Imagine scuba diving off the coast of Aruba, snorkeling with manta rays and sea turtles, windsurfing, and book-reading on the beach with your favorite people. Yes, I love stepping off a plane in the tropics, which is why I'm Caribbean-bound as often as possible. It's not always blue waters and rum runners served in coconuts though... So if we hit it off, remind me to tell you about the time I came face to face with a 7-foot sand

shark..

Monday through Friday, I'm a general contractor. It's rewarding to solve real-world problems and see big vacant lots turn into shiny new hoI But my favorite part is driving past an old job site and seeing a happy family playing in the front yard. Balance is important to me.

At the end of the work day, I like hitting the gym for a few laps in the pool or knocking out my free weight routine. After, I might call up some friends and throw an impromptu BBQ, complete with fresh steaks and my

almost-famous potato salad. It pairs nicely with a decent bottle of wine... As for you...
