DANNYBOY TRAVELS

After 15 years working in finance at tech companies in the San Francisco Bay Area, I decided to quit my job and take a break to reflect on the direction and content of my life.  Coincidentally, in the last 2 years, I've become an avid sailor.  So as I look to "chart a new course" for my life - I'm hoping to center it on sailing, volunteering, and traveling.
