Donna's Story

Life WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS, MAKE LEMONADE .... Retaining my Jersey history and background from afar interests me. I was a late bloomer in high school and keep to myself. You could usually find me behind a book. I immediately moved to California from high school and have been there ever since.I have been lucky to see the world and work in an industry I love (music). I Dj'ed for many years in San Francisco and LA. I also owned and ran a few memorable night clubs in SF. I am the General Manager of one the largest West Coast music distributors. I've been to Europe six times and am getting ready to go to Italy again for the holidays. I still keep in contact from a few people from high school and it always keeps me sane visiting Jersey. I am grateful for the teachers in high school that believed in my talent and kept me interested in a world outside of NJ. I still love to read lots. And question the world and chase after dreams. I love musicals!! UPDATE! Life has changed ... I'm a mom and motherhood is wonderful in my fo...Expand for more
rties. My daughter Maddy is fabulous and four right now. I had a career change a few years ago I switched to Property Management. Then I became a Project Manager. Currently, I am taking the summer off to spend more time with my daughter. We're gonna be in Jersey in May and I'm really thrilled to see my family in NJ and Philly and of course a few friends. Usually my family visits me! It's hard for me to want to leave San Francisco. I love it so much. It's a beautiful city. I love the people and diversity and the organic vegatables all year round here. I've lived here for 20 years at the same house! I can't believe that. I still play a trumpet and I used to be in the marching band 'The Wranglers.' I was a wild child and I wouldn't change a thing about that. This year I celebrate 23 years of sobriety. I wouldn't change that either ... it's all one day at a time and you never know how long this day will last, so live it like it's all you have left. BTW - Is it possible I was the only queer person in high school? Ciao, Donna
