WHERE IS YOUR HOMETOWN?

Redlands, CA. A quaint not-so-little-anymore town halfway between LA and Palm Springs, known for its navel oranges.

WHAT’S THE BEST PLACE YOU HAVE EVER VISITED?

San Juan Islands, Washington has to be on this list. My grandpa had little fishing shack on Shaw Island. A tiny and cozy studio style cabin lovingly named “the Shack.” When I was a kid, every couple years my family would take the 2 day drive up from California and stay in the even smaller bunkhouse. I loved being on ‘island time’ and taking day trips to explore the islands to hike, visit antique shops, and take tons of photos.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

I’m an avid hobby hopper and sometimes try something new, or hop around my existing hobbies for a few weeks. These include 3D printing, model / miniature making, wood working, retro video games, VR, landscape photography, home improvement projects.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE?

“No human being, when you understand his desires, is worthless. No one's life is nothing.”
