Born in Walnut Creek, California, I moved to San Diego in 2001 to complete my education at SDSU while working full-time, ultimately earning a bachelor’s degree in economics in 2005. Experiencing financial hardship early in life—after my parents lost their corporate jobs in the early ‘90s—I started working at the age of 10 as a paperboy and later held over 13 jobs across various industries, including telecom, retail, consulting, and automotive. In 2006, I purchased my first business, an auto accessory store, which I transformed into San Diego Tint, growing sales fourfold in three years. I later founded SD Motorsports in 2009, expanding into aftermarket automotive services, and in 2019, acquired TinPlay Bar Products, rebranding and introducing it into retail markets.

Beyond business, I have been deeply involved in local government and community initiatives. I have studied government systems for over a decade, run for local office, and founded Policy Over Politics, a PAC dedicated to independent voices and sustainable governance. After running for city council, I gained firsthand insight into how national issues influence local elections. Since moving to Coronado, I have actively engaged in the community by attending council meetings, volunteering, and supporting local businesses. I am a proud member of the IBC, Coronado Yacht Club, Coronado Rotary Club, Coronado Chamber of Commerce, the Fourth of July Board, and the local Mobility Committee.
