Who I am
At my core I am an artist — someone who is passionate, dedicated, and loves to create. I champion radical self expression, and cherish the process of developing mastery over a skill.
Whether through language, music, visual mediums, or craftmanship, I love the practice of turning a pile of building blocks into something beautiful.

Out in the world
In my free time, you’ll find me out surfing, snowboarding, playing my guitar, or doodling in my sketchbook. I believe in constant improvement, and enjoy using my free time to create, learn, and grow. I love taking my camera out, honing my skills as a photographer as I capture shots of the city, nature, and whatever else catches my eye.
Feel free to take a look at my photos in my photo gallery or Instagram.
How did I get here?
Currently I'm based in Northern California as a Web Developer with Hawkeye Agency. Before becoming a Dev, I worked in Marketing, Project Management, and Nonprofit fundraising/event planning where I raised over $1,000,000 for various nonprofit organizations.
I'm grateful that I can incorporate these diverse experiences into my current work by bridging the gap between Technical, Creative, and Business roles. My background has been a tremendous asset when it comes to communicating priorities across disiciplines, and facilitating balanced holistic solutions.

Learn by Doing
I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with my B.S. in Kinesiology. As an undergrad, I served on the executive board of multiple student organizations including the Student Philanthropy Council and Interfraternity Council. Through my extracurricular involvement, I was able to act as a leader for student development, philanthropy, and volunteer efforts.
Although my career took me a in different direction than my coursework, I enjoy using my understanding of exercise and diet to lead a healthy life, and applying the "Learn by Doing" motto to new challenges that come my way.
