Hi! We're Tina and Deepak Sampath and we have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2006. Calistoga is our escape from the fog, especially in the summer months! After living in San Francisco for 12 years, we moved to Sausalito in October 2018. Deepak is PhD scientist and is the VP, Research for a rare diseases company. Tina is the VP, Marketing for an oncology diagnostics company.
While we don’t have children, we have always been a “fur baby” family. Mesa was a birthday gift for Deepak shortly after our marriage in early 2004. She was a stunning King Coat German Shepherd and loved going to "Pine Cone House" in Calistoga (she literally sought out and played with pine cones every time she stayed at the house). Wyatt was her adopted brother who came home with us at the age of 8 in December 2013. He was a gentle giant - we're so lucky to have found him, and only wish we had more time with him.
Max is a 5 year old male who joined our family in October 2018 shortly after our move to Sausalito. We are forever grateful to Max's foster mom PJ for taking him in and caring for him since February 2018.
Introducing Shep Heroes!
Our friend PJ has recently established a non-profit 503(C) German Shepherd rescue organization called Shep Heroes. Like most rescue organizations, Shep Heroes is in need of financial support to continue the important work of pulling GSDs from kill shelters throughout Northern California.
