Don't you just hate the first question you're asked in every single interview? You know, "So... [long pause]... Tell me about yourself." When there's no context to the question provided and you're supposed to create a summary of your entire life's work in 30 seconds or less, and make it seem as if you're not an arrogant person. Yeah, so let me keep it short and semi-sweet, and for once I'll start with my personal life, because that is ultimately what matters the most.
Personal
I...
.... live in Portland, Oregon, where I have a 1 hour commute to the ocean, to the mountains, and to wine country.
.... spend my free time hiking, trekking, backpacking.
.... enjoy the challenges of the world of wine, including those of the palate, language and geography.
.... feel comfortable with any kitchen tool in my hand.
