Life is like the story of Cinderella. We also play every role at least once in our life. Maybe we’re the hard-working
main character who is looking for her big break. Perhaps we’re the prince who is looking for that special one-of-a-
kind person. Or maybe we’re the fairy godmother who can inspire and make dreams come true. Who am I? I am
every character and more. I am the director, producer, writer, manager and artist.

LIFE EXPERIENCE
The Next Great Adventure
2016 – present / San Jose, CA
Due to the nature of the work in the ministry, I unfortunately had a nervous
breakdown. I fell into a depression and wasn’t able to continue. But with
God’s grace and help (along with friends, family and my new girlfriend), I
was able to put back the pieces of my life together and pursue a career in
software development and SCRUM methodologies. But that’s when it
dawned on me that I should strive for an even greater passion of mine…
A Greater Calling
2013 – 2016 / Sacramento, CA
Now this was a curveball. I had a change of heart with my fiancé, and
received a calling from God to leave everything behind and serve Him. So I
did. I sold my house. My business. My motorcycle. Everything. Leaving
friends and family was pretty rough also, but it was absolutely worth it. I
never felt closer to God than I did in the ministry.
The Sin City Redemption
2008 – 2013 / Las Vegas, NV
I came back because I had something to prove. With almost nothing in my
pocket, in less than a year I had a house, made more money than I ever
did, and no vices. I even managed to start my own residential AC company
for 2 years and get engaged.
Back to Basics
2007 – 2008 / Jacksonville, FL
Yes I went broke in Vegas. But not financially. Spiritually. I had stopped
attending church (which is key in my life) and realized I needed to change
my environment. My parents moved to Florida the year before so I
temporarily moved back in with them to find my identity again. There’s
nothing like southern hospitality.
America’s Playground
2005 – 2006 / Las Vegas, NV
After getting island fever, I took my HVAC skills to Sin City. I was making
good money for a 21 year old. I bought a condo and learned to play poker
and craps. You can probably see where this is going…
Leaving the Nest
2004 – 2005 / Waipahu, HI
One week after I graduated high school, I was off to live with my aunt in
Hawaii. At 18, I was working as a entry level HVAC technician for a large
company called HBM. I learned about the island life and how to slow down
and take your time.
The Early Years
1985 – 2004 / San Jose, CA
Born and raised in the Bay Area. I had my fair share of getting into trouble
as well as seeing the beauty of Mt. Tamalpais, Yosemite and sunsets from
Twin Peaks.!
