| If Debbie had to pick her most memorable spot in Monterey, it’s the soft sand on Carmel Beach. With two young kids, she is the consummate soccer-mom, attending every game, with dog in tow. Her favorite music matches her high energy—Black Eyes Peas, or anything upbeat. Always with a smile on her face, Debbie’s favorite quote is “Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth.” | ||

An avid lover of food and wine, John appreciates the local fresh produce of Monterey County and the culinary creativity of the area’s restaurants. John embraces every moment, and believes in the motto: "Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity." | ||

Lauren loves to wander around the Monterey Region with her husband, usually ending up at Big Sur or the beach. In her spare time, she beads beautiful jewelry, and experiments with creative menus and savory cooking. She gets some of her energy and inspiration from her classic rock collection on her iPod. She believes in giving people second chances, as evident from her favorite quote: “Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.” | ||

Kimberly is a natural athlete—she’s at home either running along the coastal trail towards Asilomar, or taking on 9 holes at Pebble Beach. She prides herself on hiking all the trails in Monterey County, from Fort Ord to Garland Ranch. She runs to the beat of indie rock and alternative, and always has enough energy for one more hill. Kimberly’s inspiration: “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” | ||
