I was born in Orange County, California and live here with my wife, Julia, and our two children. Julia and I met while doing missions work in a small, rural community in Mexico, two years before our first date. We have now been married for over 12 years and enjoy our life as parents of our two sons, now 7 and 5 years old.

As a graduate from Cal Poly Pomona's architecture program, I have always been passionate about design. I still keep a sketch book, and document my ideas there. It's a bit old fashioned these days, but I love to see my son's draw in their sketch books as we hike along local trails.

I recently have taken an Associate Principal role with TCA Architects, a renowned residential architectural firm with locations in Irvine, Los Angeles and Oakland. The opportunities I have received since my arrival have allowed me to make new relationships in the industry and continue my growth and development as an architect.
