WHO ARE YOU?

I grew up in South Florida, however I have spent most of my adult life in the South Western United States. After attending Arizona State University, I moved to Santa Fe, NM briefly to work with my father. Since then, I have been living in Los Angeles working in Aerospace Manufacturing. Now I am looking forward trying to establish the next leg of my journey. I have the feeling something big is coming I just hope I am ready for it.

CAN YOU SHARE ANY CAREER ADVICE?

Fear is probably the best feeling to have while taking action. As long as you are taking action, everything will work out and if your feel scared while you are doing it you can bet you are on the right path.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF WORK?

I like to get outside as often as I can. I enjoy hiking and climbing. I am fairly fitness oriented, so a good portion of my free time is spent trying to come up with interesting meals for my meal plan. Lastly, I enjoy getting quality time to spend with my girlfriend and our 2 cats, Soup and Sophie.

If I can get through all those then its usually working on some projects like business ideas or DIY projects.

WHO ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT INSPRE YOU?

My Father. He is the most capable person I know and has the self starting attuite I can only hope to acquire half of some day. His brain is always on, thinking, creating and planning.

My Sister. She is incredibly resilient and handles adversity better than anyone else I know. She is a wonderful mother to her two boys and has always been ok marching to the beat of her own drum.

Alex Smith. Look him up, its self explanatory.

WHAT IS SOMETHING PEOPLE MIGHT NOT GUESS ABOUT YOU?

Two things. One is that I have scoliosis. I have struggled with it my entire adult life and it has shaped my entire fitness life. In fact, I started and am currently the sole moderator of the r/scoliosisfitness reddit, although its not a very active sub.

Second, I love to play Magic, The Gathering.

WHY IS YOUR CAT NAMED “SOUP”?

It’s a long story that only made sense to me when I was young. Simply put, I wanted a cat named “Soup” and I wasn’t allowed to have one, so when I grew up, I got one. .
