About the owner

I was born in Isokyrö, Finland, and moved to United States after graduating from high school. After the initial exchange student time in the East Coast, I moved to the West Coast, and went to school in Sacramento, California. After 10 years there, I briefly lived in beautiful Santa Barbara, before moving to Yakima, Washington, where I have lived since 1995.

My hobbies are Yoga, traveling, bicycling, and dog agility. Our dog Phoebe (see below) participated in her first AKC agility trial last Fall 2007. We did not "Q" (agility lingo for getting a qualifying run) but we'll try again this year.
