Both of my parents were born and raised in the Caribbean and wanted my sisters and I to experience the same carefree childhood away from the big city mentality of LA where I was born.

FUNNY THINGS ABOUT LIVING IN ST. THOMAS
Tourists would ask us the funniest questions! For example, “How does this island float?” or “Do the kids really go to school here?” or “Do people actually work here?”

The Baths in Virgin Gorda and the Willy T in Norman Island [a barge that’s been converted into a floating restaurant].

Travel, no question.

Monsanto, Portugal – one of the most amazing places I have ever seen, and the origin of my family.

The Maldives.

Split between The Count of Monte Cristo and Captain Ron, but Brides Maids is a recent addition…

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK WITH TRACY HARRIS?
Indescribable.

WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING HE HAS SAID SO FAR?
“I’m so tired of being the smartest one; my mother always said it was going to be a burden, and it has been.”…the rest are not appropriate for print.

Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.
