Dan Pelzer, a remarkable gentleman who recently passed away at the age of 92, truly had a passion for reading. Believe it or not, he kept a list of all the books he read, totaling at least 3,599 starting from 1962. According to a news article I saw, he was reading about 80 books each year, mostly from his favorite public library nearby. His son described him as ‘an enigma wrapped in a riddle,” which I find to be a genuinely wonderful compliment.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
