Some people call it the Beverly Hills of the desert.   

I like to say it like this. 

If you could imagine that Beverly Hills and the Wild West had a baby, plopped it down in a beautiful desert, and surrounded it by ancient Native American ruins... You'd have Scottsdale.

It's this eclectic mix of historical and modern, contemporary and chic, ruggedness and elegance that makes up the essence of what this city is.

It's where cowboy beans and caviar collide. 

Where rusty spurs meet shiny stilettos.  And dramatic rock formations mingle with glitzy storefronts.

Where you can hike and explore and chase adventure during the day. 

Then wash off the dust and sweat, and dine and dance in style by night.

It's where saguaros reach towards purple and magenta sunsets.  And golf courses cover the desert in blankets of emerald.

Scottsdale is complex, yet serene. 

It's as down-to-earth as it is glamorous. 

Can you spot the Praying Monk?

I call Scottsdale the Sea of Plenty.  While there is no ocean here (about the only downside), there is plenty to see and do.

But sometimes, too much can be more challenging than not enough.  I've seen the deer-in-the-headlights look a few times...

That's where I come in.

Consider me like the friend who can give you the inside scoop on the good, the bad, the ugly.  What's worth seeing and what's not. 

That's because I've spent my entire twenties (and now early 30's....) doing my homework.

I discovered that with a little advice and a bit of research under your belt, you can make your time here sizzle like the Sonoran sun. 

And it's my pleasure to help you do just that.

So, relax and settle on in.  Time to get this show on the road...
