CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy a new experience one day at a time.

ABOUT ME

I am a very outgoing, social, and energetic person. I have a love for the arts, design, photography, history, and I am a huge car nut.

I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and grew up half of my life there and the other half in Southern California. My father is from a small Central American country called Costa Rica and my mother is a mix of Afro American, Dutch West Indian, and shares quit a bit of Louisiana Creole heritage. All these cultures come together through me and I feel that they have truly shaped who I am as a person. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled extensively and I spent almost a year studying European Business Law at EBS in Paris, France.

I currently work in sales and do consultant work that requires extensive travel around the US and at times Western Europe. I know the entire state of California like the back of my hand and I am willing to offer advice not only for Southern California but for Northern California as well.

PHILOSOPHY

The life we are giving can only be experienced for a moment and for this, we shall enjoy every single moment of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you many things from my personal experiences through traveling and living life. Growing up with such a diverse cultural background allows me to show others insight on ideas that would have otherwise not been noticed. I enjoy talking about history and how it relates to today's time, which always spark interesting conversation. I am always interested in learning about new cultures and ideas of others and the why behind it all.
