Amador clients are frequently described as ‘great catches’ who just can’t seem to find the right match. Traditional forms of meeting other singles don’t work for everyone, especially busy professionals. That’s where Amador Matchmaking can help.

On 4/20, I read a New York Times article “Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Roll Me a Joint.”  It got me thinking, have we gone from ‘Roll out the barrel’ to ‘Roll up the joint?’  As a Matchmaker who represents successful entrepreneurs with a median age of 48, I don’t think so.  While most people are open to dating someone who occasionally enjoys marijuana, more frequent use is a “Deal-breaker”.

Santa Barbara has a vibrant business community and last week Downtown Santa Barbara, The Chamber of the Santa Barbara Region, Hospitality Santa Barbara, Goleta Valley Chamber and Visit Santa Barbara hosted their 3rd Annual ‘Mega Mixer’ at one of Santa Barbara’s newest and most innovative co-working spaces, Impact Hub Santa Barbara!

Summertime is one of the best times to date. The South Coast is alive with summertime dating activities ranging from hiking, biking, dancing, dining, sailing or just walking on the beach. How romantic!

Santa Barbara Matchmaking is a new member of the nonprofit 1% for the Planet and is launching a new program called “Purpose and Passion.”

Spring is here and while it may be subtle in Santa Barbara, it’s all around us.

Trees are blossoming and jasmine is filling the night air with an intoxicating fragrance. It just feels fresh and filled with endless chances for new beginnings.

Valentine’s Day is a day that brings about mixed feelings. For me. I choose to focus on love, whether for a friend, family member, significant other or (most important) oneself. It’s a special day to show appreciation for others and bring love into your life.
