My name is Jon and I live in West Sonoma County. A great place to live if you enjoy any of the things that I do like road biking, photography, good food and wines all in a somewhat rural setting. Oh by the way I am also a consultant to companies in market research and on-line sales and marketing, something has to pay the bills. I am posting here periodically to let people know about the wonderful things that you can enjoy in Sonoma County, I hope you enjoy it.
