Who I Am
Get to know me, not just my work—how I got here, where I want to go, what I love doing and why I love doing it.
The Creative
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 craftsmanship, I love the practice of turning a pile of building blocks into something beautiful.

Out in the World
Always creating, always growing
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 gallery.
The Journey
How did I get here?
Currently I'm based in Northern California as a Senior Web Developer with Rootmark. Before becoming a Dev, I worked in Marketing, Project Management, and Nonprofit fundraising/event planning.
$1,000,000+
raised 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 disciplines, and facilitating balanced holistic solutions.

Education
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 in a 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.
