If you knew me, you’d know: I recently started eating Brussel sprouts
Favorite Visalia activity: in Visalia - strolling down Main Street and checking out the many restaurants
or simply dropping into Exeter for any one of the fine French Restaurants.
Viewing the murals or picking up something at Exeter Mercantile. Watching
the cowboys wrangle cattle on Yokohl drive.
Why live in Visalia: coming from the Los Angeles environs - I love living in Exeter where each
day I can look out my window and view the Sierras in all their glory.
Also, a great place to raise children. And lastly, one has the chance
to run into somebody you know just about anywhere you go
If I couldn’t be a physician, I’d: be an inventor of sorts
