-ABOUT ME- BEEN PLAYING DRUMS FOR 17 YEARS. BEEN IN THE CULINARY INDUSTRY FOR 10 YEARS. BEEN FREE CLIMBING FOR 9 YEARS. STUDYING CHEMISTRY AND WEB DESIGNING. PROUD FATHER.
"I started playing drums in 2006 at the age of 15. I had originally started to learn how to play piano but for some reason drums called out to me more. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to play outside of the country and travel within the states to play. From playing with opening bands to closing bands, playing music is a huge part of my life."
Chef
2013 - Current
"I have always had a passion for cooking and the kitchen in general since I was a kid. In 2011, I enrolled into culinary school and learned a decent amount. My instructor made an interesting comment to me, 'you guys can learn the basic in school, but you can drop out and learn more starting as a dishwasher somewhere.' I took that advice to heart and dropped out the following month and starting working as a dishwasher/delivery boy. Within a few years, I had learn the inside and out of the industry and met amazing and talented people. I had to privelege to cook for Anthony Bourdain, Kevin Bacon, Jonathan Gold, and many more celebrities."
FREEHAND CLIMBING / HIKING
2010 - Current
"Being from California, I have always had an attachment and appreciation for nature. I originally started out doing simple hikes just to pass the time. The older I got, I started getting more into freehand climbing and rock climbing. The feeling of getting to the top when it's a challenge and there's risk of falling is indescribable."
Web Design
Started in 2010 - 2014 Jumped back in 2020 - Current
"I started messing with code years ago during the myspace days, but like most people, I failed to realize the potential and opportunities it came with later on. I jumped into Web Design again a few years later but this time I was introduced to website builders and other approaches. Fast-forward to now, learning from Professor Ahn has helped me understand why code is king and effective ways to appraching web design nowadays even with website builders popping up left and right."
