I was raised in Marin County, California. Growing up in a mid century styled Eichler, I was exposed to art and design from a very young age. During my youth, I was constantly taking things apart, painting something, or involving myself in some type of art or design project. Marin County would also allow me to connect with the great outdoors, eventually developing a strong interest in mountain biking. I would buy, sell, and race mountain bikes up until I bought my first car. My passion for bikes naturally transitioned to cars. From age 15, I started flipping cars, my favorite of the jobs I’ve held so far. Initially wanting to pursue automotive design, I chose to attend San Jose State University for their accredited industrial design program. I thoroughly enjoyed my schooling at SJSU and am thankful for the skills I was able to develop there. Now 1 college degree and 42 cars later, I am looking to find a career at the intersection of art & design, cars, and content creation.
