Overall I've been told I'm easygoing and fun to be around. I try to work hard and plan ahead for the future but ultimately I'm always looking for a new adventure. Mobile app design is my passion and professionally, I enjoy designing web and mobile app interfaces as well as consulting with startups regarding strategy, marketing, etc.

I'm originally from Southern California but I spent most of my early years growing up in a small town in Texas. After high school I pursued a basketball scholarship at the University of New Hampshire. After graduating from UNH I went on to play professional basketball for a year in Mexico, and most recently finished my graduate degree in business in Nevada.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've traveled to several countries over the last few years as I'm a member of the El Salvador national team (my Dad is from El Salvador), where I realized just how many amazing people one can meet by getting off of the beaten path. I love getting a fresh perspective by experiencing new cultures while hopefully offering a fresh one to the people I meet as well.
