Being born and raised in the Bay Area I have been blessed to grow up around a lot of diversity. The "Melting Pot" nickname definitely makes a lot of sense, you see a blend of cultures all throughout the local food scene, music, fashion and just about every social situation that happens here. I think that level of stimulation was a big contributor to my greatest asset, my creativity. I rely on it alot to help me solve problems in my professional and personal life. 

I feel like my appreciation for creativity has made me a very easily inspired person. I always get it through works of cinematography, photography, music, fashion, philosophy, meditation, geographical exploration, mental exploration, exercise (high & low intensity) and food. 

   At this current stage of my life, I am working to alleviate some of the feelings of reservation that I experience in all facets of my life. I'm aware that these are normal human emotions and everyone experiences them throughout everything we do, but I've noticed that I perform better in life with a calm, cool headspace. The end goal is to bring actual solutions to large issues instead of just speaking on them or "shedding light".
