Summary

I was born in Southern California and quickly moved to Central California to be on self sufficient in 2005 to work for Mammoth Mountain after I graduated High School.

I then moved to Santa Barbara and achieved a college degree in 2010. I moved to the state Vermont to start a photography business and during weekdays, i served and bartended in a renowned fine dining restaurant full time.

In the winter I would work maintenance at ski resorts or even do landscaping. I am used to 50-60 hour work weeks and have never once been anything but grateful.

I work very hard and I would be proud to be a part of this company.
