Born and raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles, I never really understood how fortunate I was as a kid growing up. To be raised in one of the most famous and established cities in the United States, let alone the world, is still a very foreign yet distinguishing feature of my life. After high school, I decided to try something new and take off to Colorado State University. At Colorado State University, I studied and attained a Bachelors of Science in Health and Exercise Science, and worked as an Assitant Academic Coordinator upon graduation. Colorado was a great growing experience, as I was able to establish the CSU Men's Club Volleyball team, meet my better half, and immerse myself into a brand new culture being so far from home. After working hard throughout college, I was able to save enough money to go on a 2 month Eurotrip with my girlfriend, Jaclyn Gabbert, where we started to fulfill our dream of  traveling the world together. Following our Eurotrip, we decided to study abroad in the United Kingdom, where we are both pursuing our masters degrees. I am currently studying my MSc in Sport Management while Jaclyn is pursuing her MBA (Masters in Business Administration). 

 

Throughout my life, I have always maintained that :

 

1) Family comes first.... to me, my family is EVERYTHING

2) School / Work follows... I'm a firm believer that education is a key to success

3) Sports / Healthy Lifestyle ... stress reliever, outlet, and fun!

4) Social Life comes last (but not least!).... one drink never led to any good stories...
