I was born in Montana where I have lived the majority of my life. I later moved to the Napa Valley during high school years. I initially started my college education at the University of Oregon with an intended major of Computer Science. However, after a family incident, I chose to move back home to help support my family.

In the spring of 2017, I enrolled in classes at Napa Valley College where I discovered digital design. At first it was just a newfound interest but it grew to be one of my passions. Soon thereafter, I started my enrollment in the two-year A.S. Digital Design Graphics Technology (DDGT) program with a projected graduation date of June 2019. My goal is to transfer to a UC or California state school, with my A.S. degree under my belt, to pursue a B.A. in Digital Media/Animation.

My first job was working for my father’s restaurant, Island Noodles, where I cooked and served at various high profile events such as Coachella, SF Giants AT&T Park and Barrett Jackson Car Auction. Additionally, I took on part time jobs in order to pay for my education. I also worked as a banquet server / pool server at Meadowood Napa Valley and as a food runner at the one star michelin restaurant, Bouchon Bistro.

Family has always been a big part of my life and still is today. I have a twenty-three year old special needs brother who suffers from a brain disorder and requires constant care. I spend a majority of time at home taking care of him. In my freetime, I enjoy drawing and trading cryptocurrency.
