Personal

I am curious, creative, analytical, and easy to get along with. Things I love: my family, my garden, motorcycle adventures, technology, art, history, travel, and learning new things. I am one course shy of completing a 2-year degree in Horticulture from UCLA.

Before establishing my career in digital development I held a wide assortment of jobs including: licensed stockbroker, college math teacher, survival school instructor, carpenter, and heavy equipment operator.
