Hello my name is Bob and I am originally from Brimfield, Ohio.  Located just 10 short miles from the Rubber Captial of the World, Akron, Ohio, Brimfield is a quiet rural town lying east of Akron and south of Cleveland.  What can I say about Brimfield that sums it up quickly?  It's a nice place to be from...  I also did time in Rootstown which is a 5 minute drive from Brimfield.  Those were my high school years, much of which I remember as being very painful while I was going through it.  Looking back now on those memories, they have lost some of their discomfort so that on balance I'd have to say my time in Rootstown left me with some valuable lessons.

Erika, on the other hand, grew up in Santa Monica, California.  She was two miles from the great expanse of the Pacific Ocean.  Growing up just down the street from the backyards of most of America's television and movie celebrities seem to have affected her little, if at all.  She is honest, courageous and down to earth in a way that would make much of the population of the midwest seem like charlatans.  Erika is very close to her family and friends and is always making new, interesting friends everywhere she goes.  Her hobbies include collecting snowglobes from around the world and exercising at the gym.
