Although many of us already know each other, I figure this wouldn't hurt. Also, I promised a couple pics from NZ.

(This was a big hit on the <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/397687.phtml">B6S4 board</a>, a couple days ago (and it's still going) 4 years into the model/community.)

I find "meet the members" threads good for community and to keep the environment fairly troll free, although we do a good job of that more or less on here.

So...


Hello. My name is Sia Bani. I am currently a proj. manager for a startup software company called SigmaQuest in the Silicon Valley. I also
attend evening MBA at the Leavey School of Business in Santa Clara.


Here are some pics from my New Zealand study abroad trip from a couple weeks ago. We went there to study Global Entrepreneurship, and met with a lot of very driven and successful Kiwis.

First pic, me trying on my new wool jacket (NZ is known for their 8:1 sheep:human population; quality wool, merino, etc. 32 mill sheep ;D)

Next we have me doing the Titanic shot on the America's Cup NZ sailboat.

Here, we've befriended the owner of the winery we were visiting on the island of Weiheke, NZ. He brought out some of his sparkling wine for us.

Lastly, here I'm screwing around with our prof. Mary Furlong at our farewell dinner our last night in NZ. (btw, google her..she's a god in her industry)

my name is wallace, and i write fortune cookies when not financing real estate transactions. i like vw's, espcially gti's and sambas. i believe i'm one of the few still on here w/o an audi at the moment.

i sympathize with the epicurious, weekend spandex warriors (or as dawn calls it 'spandex parties'), modern movement, alcohol and all things kid robot.
