Going off topic
For a more personable peek, I support several web hosting/sites and businesses for friends, family and those in need of IT support, web design, and consultancy/advising.

Freetime
I am a freelance photographer. I take on projects ranging from portrait/studio, couples and family photography to product promotions for web/literature/print use to covering entertainment/social events from Orange County to Hollywood and Las Vegas. When time allows, I love to spend countless hours listening to music and spinning vinyl.

Love To
Travelling and discovering different art, architecture, culture, food and when I'm sick, it's gotta be, to Netflix binge watch.
