East Meets Dress Emerges On Peninsula From Founder's Wedding Day
The Peninsula-based Asian-American fashion apparel company has the backing of 2 Yale-trained friends on a mission to let worlds collide.

I've been a writer as long as I can remember -- in my secret hiding places as a kid growing up in Woodstock, Vt. Professionally, I've worked for decades as a reporter and editor for a number of California publications, including the North County Times (which was folded into the Union-Tribune group in San Diego County), Del Norte Triplicate and Times Standard on the Redwood Coast, Tahoe Daily Tribune and most recently with the online community news site Lake Tahoe News on the South Shore.
I've written in many beats, with some travel involved. My travels have taken me to cover U.S. sprinter Michael Johnson delivering the Olympic torch to Stonehenge at sunrise on its way to London for the 2010 Summer Games. Eight years before, my press coverage granted me my own running leg of the Olympic torch in South Lake Tahoe on its way to the Winter Games in Salt Lake City.
