Jack's Story
Life
I have been living in San Francisco and Berkeley, California for the last 20 years - no more shovelling sidewalks or swatting at skeeters in the summer. Beautiful and varied scenery, great food and wine, plenty of ethnically, politically and economically diverse, smart folks--and a stratospheric cost of living. I could not afford to move here now from Ohio.
I have worked for a global financial services firm for the last 15 years as a consultant and currently manage our knowledge management intranet site and serve as the learning officer for our consulting division. I am partnered and have no children of my own but plenty of godchildren (way too many when it comes to birthdays and holidays).
Interests include travel (especially italy and South Africa), photography (you can see my pics at Flickr dot com --look for Oakjack), gardening, ...Expand for more
hiking, books, music, food and politics ( I live in Berkeley - you can guess my political leanings).
I was a total nerd in high school. Some things don't change much; the difference is that being a nerd now pays well.
Things I miss about Ohio - thunderstorms, fireflies, Eden Park, friendly folks at the grocery store (y'all are really missing the whole pierced-nose, eye-rolling, tatooed, sullen service experience here in the Bay area) , good manners, calm drivers, clean streets, and Skyline Chili. I don't miss the racism, homophobia or the summer inversion layers.
I rarely go "back east." Most of my family is scattered across the country and I have lost track of my high school friends (you know who you are). After 9/11, I thought I may want to reconnect with the past since it was made clear life is so fragile, so I joined Classmates.
