I was born in Walnut Creek, raised in Pleasanton, work in the Dougherty Valley and live in Hayward. I socialize a lot in Livermore. These all connect in the power of the Stoneridge Mall. I also grew up a stones throw from this retail capital of the East Bay. Therefore, my adolescence was filled with walking between Sbarros and Hot Topic looking for social acceptance.
