Passion Projects

Writing

Having studied in San Jose State University's department of Journalism and Mass Communications, and graduating with a degree in Public Relations, I enjoy digging back into my roots and writing.  I've begun writing a book designed to inspire young professionals and help them stay positive and thrive in the workforce regardless of the obstacles they may encounter.  While the book is merely a passion project of mine, I genuinely believe it will help motivate young people who are struggling to find their way in the work world. I also occasionally publish articles and opinion pieces on my blog and social media sites. For an example check out these articles:

7 Lessons to Pass Down to Your Kids and Look for In Your Workforce

I served as an owner-operator of a multimedia company from 2003 to 2010 specializing in video services such as video editing, DVD authoring, and video encoding. I also branched out into photography and design services as well.  Having moved away from doing these things for a living, it has allowed me to truly enjoy them as a hobby.  Below are some examples of my photography.
