Hi my name is Tori, I work as an Industrial Designer in the Verdugo Hills area north of Los Angeles. I was born in 1959 so at the time of writing this I'm 47, still married to my first spouse and we have two teenage boys.

Some of my interests include hiking, backpacking, computer animation, model railroading, photography, listening to (and sometimes making) music and making friends!

BTW, this doesn't define me, but some might find it interesting, I'm transsexual. For some reason as my brain was being formed it developed as a female brain, yet my body developed as male. This was pretty confusing to me and most people around me, but that's all fixed now, as I've legally, hormonally, physically and emotionally been able to fix the disparity and now live as a woman. If you passed me on the street you'd never know, but it's no secret, I'm not ashamed so I'm comfortable being out and talking about it. A very few people find it incomprehensible and an even smaller few find it threatening. But hey... you clicked on this page, feel free to go somewhere else. It's been my experience that people that find it threatening are themselves insecure about some aspect of themselves, perhaps deeply closeted/in denial homosexual or trans-gendered to some degree themselves. I live my life in an open honest way and feel this helps educate others that people that are different than normal can be nice, productive, kind, loving, helpful and good humans just like everybody! If you don't feel that way, and you don't know me but choose to decide based on this, then that is your problem!

Anyway, I've got some pictures here of myself friends family etc. and I plan on posting some things I've written on different subjects so check back if interested!

Warmest wishes,
Tori
