CURRENT MISSION

Live high, live mighty, live righteously.

ABOUT ME

Work hard, play harder! I'm an assistant trainer at the Moss Landing Marine Labs in CA, working for education and conservation with wonderful sea lions. I hope to spend my life training animals, but with a focus on positive reinforcement and an emphasis on the importance in building relationships with animals.
I am currently working on the extremely hard task (at least for me) of being comfortable by myself. I love travelling, good beer with good friends, and meeting new people. I love hearing stories of people's lives. I will try almost anything once, and I love trying new food. I strive to make fun out of every situation in life.

PHILOSOPHY

It's the little things in life that make the whole thing wonderful. See what you can and stay optimistic!!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I'm able to communicate and build a relationship with the amazing sea lions that trust me.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Teach me something new... a fact, a song, a language.
I can take you around Santa Cruz. Show you some good surf spots, take you to a place in the woods where the laws of gravity don't apply, take you to drink good beer or classy cocktails, good rock climbing, reptile catching, maybe even meet a couple sea lions!
