Born in Walnut Creek California; I moved to San Diego in August 2001 to finish my college education at SDSU. Working full time while a full-time student, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics in 2005.

In the economic downturn of the early 1990’s, both my parents were laid off from their well-paid corporate jobs. My mother had to settle for a job paying less and with a much longer commute. My father ended up struggling to find good work and lost everything, living out of his car for almost 2 years. Given our family’s financial condition, I started my first job at the age of 10 as a paper boy in my neighborhood. Over the years, I have worked over 13 different jobs in many fields ranging from: Wireless, Commodities, Consulting, Telecom, Automotive, Management, Customer Service, Retail, Service, Restaurants, Telemarketing, and more.

I purchased my first business in 2006, an Auto Accessory store in La Mesa. Within the first year, I transformed it into San Diego Tint, quadrupling sales within the first 3 years. Today it is one of the most reputable businesses in automotive window tinting in San Diego County. In 2009, I opened my second business, SD Motorsports in Sorrento Valley and built it into a successful auto aftermarket company, offering a wide range of customizable services and products. In 2019 I purchased TinPlay Bar Products, establishes A&M Innovative Products LLC and helped rebrand and move the product into retail sales channels.

I also have experience in local government operations and elections. I have spent the last decade studying government systems, have run for local offices, and created localized sustainability models. As a non-partisan, independent candidate, I have constantly advocated for a rethinking and restructuring of our government and tax systems. I started Policy Over Politics, a registered local PAC, focused on supporting individuals with an independent voice, spearheading localized sustainability initiatives, and lay out a full future government restructuring plan. After running for city council in San Diego, I witnessed how influential national political issues affected the mindset of voters in local elections.

Since first moving to Coronado, I have wanted to get as involved as possible to help understand what makes our city so special. I attend most council meetings, community events, volunteer, and patronize our local businesses. I’m a proud member of the IBC, Coronado Yacht Club, Coronado Rotary Club, Coronado Chamber of Commerce, Coronado Fourth of July Board Member, and on our local Mobility Committee.
