Call Me “Breaux”
D IRE C TO R O F B U SINE S S DE V E LO PME NT
A
little over a year ago, I wrote about how our kids were taking music lessons and having fun learning to play and sing various popular songs. They are now into music more than ever before, and a lot has happened in a year. In case you are hearing about this for the first time, Peyton plays guitar and sings. Audrey plays drums and piano, but she insists that drums are her number one. The two of them have come a long way over the last year. For starters, they formed a band and decided to officially name their two-person “brother and sister” duo Call Me Breaux. When we discussed their name choice, both Audrey and Peyton explained that people have called them by their last name (pronounced “bro”) their entire life – especially in sports – so it just makes sense for a band name. When my wife and I realized how much they liked singing and performing, we started to gradually convert our dining room into a small music studio. On any given day, you can often hear some type of music being performed by one or both of them. And every once in a while, something magical happens when they come together and play their growing set of songs. It’s fun to be preparing dinner and hear your kids jamming out in the other room. Who needs a radio when you can get live performances inside your house daily? And although they love to play music for the pure sense of accomplishment, now they’ve experienced the thrill of performing live on stage. Last month, they were invited to play a set at the world-famous Whiskey a Go Go in Hollywood. A couple of weeks later, they played the House of Blues in San Diego. This was particularly special for them because quite a few of their friends were at the show. They made it clear to me that having their friends in the audience was the coolest thing ever! It’s a pretty crazy thing to stand in the audience and watch your kids (ages 14 and 12) get up on stage in front of a crowd. As a parent, I experience a wide range of emotions. I’m nervous for them. I’m proud of them. And I’m amazed at their determination and willingness to put themselves out there. So far, they’ve only played cover songs. But recently, they have decided that writing and producing their own original songs is where they want to go. They said that it would be awesome to hear their songs playing on the radio one day, so now they are more determined than ever to make this happen. A special thank you to The Fine Tune Academy for continuing to teach music theory to our kids, to Studio West for providing a great local professional recording atmosphere, and to family and friends (you know who you are) that offer amazing support for their music journey.

FITMONKEYS
CLIENT PROFILE: Caroline Sinai
Surveys have shown "Carlsbadians" to be some of America's fittest and happiest residents. Caroline is one of these active, happy, "Carlsbadians". She has always been a fitness enthusiast, loving her outdoor runs and taking yoga classes at a local yoga studio run by her good friend. One day while conducting a business meeting at a nearby real estate company, Caroline stumbled across Fit Monkeys. Caroline liked that Fit Monkeys specialized in one-on-one personal training. Additionally, she thought Fit Monkeys use of multiple methodologies to help their clients reach their fitness goals was a fun and interesting idea. She also loved that Fit Monkeys is a family owned business run by mother daughter team Denise McClelland and Kelly McConnell. Caroline decided Fit Monkeys was exactly the studio to meet her personal training needs.
Occupation: Senior Loan Officer American Home Lenders Inc. Hobbies: Traveling, spending time with her three daughters & running along the beach with her husband Michael and their German Shepherd, Koda. Upon initial meeting, Denise McClelland (the mom in Fit Monkeys mother daughter team) put Caroline through a complimentary fitness assessment to address Caroline's strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, Denise gathered information about Caroline's fitness goals and interests. During each of Caroline's sessions Denise uses a combination of pilates, weight training, mat work, and cardio to help Caroline stay a fit and happy "Carlsbadian".
Denise is attentive, the work-outs are challenging and I always feel great when I leave. Denise also discusses exercises and stretches I need to work on at home.”

CLIMBING TO THE TOP
Zoe
an for Rock Climbing s on si as P er H Yi Pursues
AKES | by JENNIFER FR
Z
oe Yi is a fifth grader with high aspirations. She is an avid rock climber who recently scored 10th in the nation at the 2018 USA Climbing Bouldering Youth National Championship. This competition is divided into age groups, and Zoe competed in the 10 and under division. According to Zoe, at Nationals, there are three to five climbs for each contestant, and four minutes is put on the clock for each climb. The score is based on how high the climber reaches and how many falls, if any, the climber experiences. Zoe is proud to have been to Nationals twice and is extremely dedicated to her sport, practicing three times or more per week for two hours each practice. “My life as a climber started when I attended a rock climbing summer camp at The Wall Climbing Gym when I was eight years old. I absolutely adore the sport! I joined the team and started competing a couple months later,” revealed Zoe. When Zoe first joined The Wall Climbing Gym, there was only one other member on the competitive team. In just two-and-a-half years,

the team has grown quite a bit. “Now there are two teams, one is recreational and one is competitive. Between the two teams, there are 30 kids altogether,” stated Zoe. She is not only thrilled with the growth of local rock climbing, but also with how much attention the sport has received throughout the world. “Rock climbing is going to be a sport in the 2020 Olympic Games,” related Zoe proudly. She is quick to cite Ashima Shiraishi, the world’s best female rock climber, as her inspiration in the sport. In addition to rock climbing, Zoe loves being creative. She enjoys making animated videos, creating comics, and developing games on Scratch, a coding app. “I also love LEGO, Rubik’s cubes, and drawing mazes that include unexpected twists,” said Zoe, who attends The Rhodes School. While in school, she especially enjoys her P.E. and technology classes. It isn’t surprising that Zoe’s future goals include becoming a professional rock climber and competing in the Olympics someday. “I’d also like to be an American Ninja Warrior and a LEGO designer. It is important to me that I give back, so I also want to participate in more volunteer work so that I can make a real impact in the community,” said Zoe. ¢

Annual Tip Top Run
AGUA HEDIONDA LAGOON FOUNDATION RUNS FOR AWARENESS photo by Lin Ball
T
he Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation (AHLF) recently held its Annual Tip Top Run, themed Leprechaun Dash and Bash for the Saint Patrick’s Day holiday. The walk and fun run had a 5K course and a 10K course, both ending at the AHLF’s Discovery Center in Carlsbad. The Tip Top Run was meant to celebrate the eradication of Caulerpa taxifolia, a species of seaweed, as well as raise awareness about the lagoon as one of the area’s most amazing natural resources. The event, presented by Poseidon Water, attracted more than 400 participants and 65 volunteers who braved the rainy weather to enjoy the 5k and 10k walk and run. After the run, attendees celebrated with family-fun activities, lunch from Tip Top Meats, live music, World Water Day exhibitors/vendors, and drinks for everyone. Bob Yehling won the 5K walk/run and Michelle Ven Huizen won the 10K walk/run. Approximately $30,000 was raised at the event, which will help the AHLF’s educational programs reach 10,000 elementary school children in 2018. The AHLF has been dedicated to preserving and protecting valuable natural resources. For more information about the lagoon and to see upcoming events, visit www.aguahedionda.org. ¢

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
STEM SAVVY PHILIP HWANG PAYS FORWARD HIS PASSION FOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY by LIZ ONUFER | photo by Mark Hopkins Photography
P
NAME: Philip Hwang COMMUNITY: Carlsbad VOLUNTEER AFFILIATION: Carlsbad Educational Foundation Science Olympiad coach PROFESSION: Software Engineer at ViaSat HOBBIES & INTERESTS: Video games, computer science, hiking, baking NAME OF GROUP: Carlsbad Educational Foundation GROUP’S PURPOSE: Investing in our children’s future success through education for all students in the Carlsbad Unified School District by developing and funding impactful programs. WEBSITE: www.carlsbaded.org
hilip Hwang’s career with Carlsbad-based ViaSat is paying off in more ways than one. Not only did his work help him relocate to 92009, it has also connected him with his volunteer role at Carlsbad Educational Foundation. In his profession, Philip is a software engineer for ViaSat, and as a volunteer through the company, he is a coach for Science Olympiad, helping students compete in science tournaments. Philip relocated to Carlsbad from the East Coast six years ago. He graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in computer science and began his career with ViaSat there. Now happily settled in Carlsbad, he admitted, “I enjoy the slower pace of life outside big cities and the SoCal vibes are pretty chill.” Philip first began volunteering with the Carlsbad Educational Foundation coaching and teaching middle school students how to build rockets and helicopters. “I think the best feeling is seeing students come back year after year with a strong interest in STEM fields,” Philip acknowledged. “Just knowing you helped teach them and spark some interest is a wonderful feeling.” Philip’s own interest in STEM was fueled by his family. His dad is a retired engineer, and his mom is a retired nurse. “Both have pushed the sciences and technology fields, sparking a lot of interest as a kid,” he explained. His childhood in Virginia, surrounded by woods and rivers, also nurtured Philip’s love for nature. He has found plenty of new areas to explore near 92009. “From the hiking perspective, I’m currently exploring the Coast to Crest Trail as sections of that 70-mile trail are built,” he said. “There are also numerous sections of the Pacific Coast Trail here in San Diego that are quite fun!” Philip has found the perfect blend of technology and nature in North County. While he loves to relax at local cafes with his phone and work on his photo editing, he balances that with time on the trail. “I love video games and VR and technology and space,” he shared. “And on the other side, I enjoy hiking into the mountains and wilderness and getting away from all that technology.” ¢
“I THINK THE BEST FEELING IS SEEING STUDENTS COME BACK YEAR AFTER YEAR WITH STRONG INTEREST IN STEM FIELDS.”

Community service is built into the curriculum at Pacific Ridge, giving students the opportunity to work on causes they are passionate about. Learn more at www.pacificridge.org.

From north to south, San Diego boasts hundreds of miles of scenic bike riding. Check out these bike paths throughout sunny San Diego!

AROUND TOWN: ADAMS AVENUE
BALBOA PARK BIKE TRAILS
BAYSHORE BIKING
Kensington to University Heights For less intense bicyclists who want to ride through a trendy location, Adams Ave. is the perfect path. With dozens of coffee shops, restaurants, and breweries, this path offers plenty of inviting pit stops and minimal traffic for an easy trip.
Balboa Park Balboa Park offers five gateways, each with several trails perfect for biking or walking. The Balboa Park paths are ideal for admiring the park’s beauty or for stopping at one of the park’s many museums.
Coronado This 24-mile path is almost a full loop, beginning in Coronado and ending in Seaport Village. While you can’t bike on the Coronado Bridge, you can take the ferry to complete the entire path. This path offers ocean views and a relatively flat, easy ride for anyone.
HIGHWAY 56 BIKE PATH

Oceanside to Guajome Regional Park This paved, seven-mile path allows for an easy ride for all types of bicyclists and pedestrians. The open space and beautiful views make it a great route to take on a weekend afternoon. ¢
CLOSER TO HOME: LAKE HODGES SUSPENSION BRIDGE Escondido This stressed, ribbon-style bridge is nearly 1,000 feet long and overlooks Lake Hodges in Escondido.

If the Price Is Right… by JESSICA BREAUX
Y
ou are thinking about selling your house – but only if you can get the right price! So, you find an agent that will agree to list your home for more than it’s worth. I hear this all the time, and it can be a recipe for disaster. Selling your home can be an emotional experience. And every seller wants to get the most that they can. The reason why you should not overprice your home is simple: it won’t sell. Pricing your home correctly from the beginning is critical. Buyers are more savvy than ever before. With today’s technology, it is easier than ever to spot a home that is overpriced. Many negative things can happen when an overpriced listing hits the market, including but not limited to missed buyer opportunities.
There are many aspects to selling a home for top dollar. The answer to achieving this usually comes down to three controllable variables: price, property condition, and marketing. The goal is to create a high demand for your home, and pricing it correctly can be one of the biggest influencers. Just like any other product, if careful attention is given to these variables, you will ultimately be pleased with the outcome. If you are considering making a move, you should be able to do so with confidence. Give me a call to schedule a meeting. It’s important to work with someone that you trust, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and discuss your real estate goals. ¢
