I grew up in Saudi Arabia, and I’ve lived in Ohio, New Orleans, Phoenix, St. Louis and Texas.

NorCal is awesome. The mountains are extensive and beautiful, and the towns and cities are pretty and friendly for the most part. The weather here is beautiful, with mild winters and clean air.

The schools in Davis are the best. I raised both my kids here — a teacher and a lawyer — and I feel like this is my forever home.
