    Many veterans but also new faces so thought we could get to know each a bit.

    So, where are you from?

    I was raised in Japan, most of my life in So Cal (the 909!) and just recently moved to Seattle.

    I've really only lived in two places. Los Angeles from 0-8 years old, Dallas from 8-20, and Los Angeles from 20-59. I'd like to someday move someplace in the mountains.

    I'd love to end up teaching in either Texas (wife's home state) or PA (mine), but my gig in Orlando is too good to consider leaving any time soon.

    What part? Indianapolis is a cool city. They've put a lot of money into the downtown area and it's a cool place to hang out and have dinner / drinks in the evening. Fishers (northwest of Indianapolis) is routinely listed in Top 10 cities in the US.

    I love San Diego. La Jolla is probably my favorite city. You're so lucky!

    Born and raised in Ventura County (SoCal). But I also have lived in Chicago, Long Beach, and Portland for long stretches of time. Just moved back from Portland to SoCal this past December.

    Haha thanks man. I actually live in Point Loma which is less than 15 miles from La Jolla and I can def vouch that it is one of the nicer cities around. It's funny, I never felt lucky to live here until I began working at the San Diego Convention Center. People come to the center from all over the united states and time and time again they always say they would love to live here.

    ps- Niners for Life!!
