Summary
I was born in Long Beach, CA moved to San Diego at 6 where I played many sports from football, basketball, to tennis. I attended Green Elementary and Creative Performing in Media Arts Middle School (CPMA) where I graduated to attend Kearny High School from grades nine through eleventh. While attending Kearny I was a three sport athlete and played football, basketball, and ran track and field in the Spring. I ended up transferring to Patrick Henry High School for my Senior year where I played football and graduated in 2010. After high school I attended Mesa College where I continued to run track and took classes in Culinary Arts and while attending I got a job at Sea World working as a Culinary Operations Host. I graduated with my AA in Culinary and went to San Diego State shortly after. I ended up leaving to provide further for the household and began working at Ralphs then Target. I currently am self employed and run 2 clothing brands and do everything from inventory, cash and card transaction history and the design of the actual items.
