I was raised in the small town of Mountain View, just outside of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. Spent most of my youth playing soccer, body boarding, surfing, downhill skating, camping and just having fun with my family and friends. I discovered I had a talent for design and production in high school. Years later I would explore this talent by moving to Florida to attend Fullsail University in Orlando. My training and experience on the campus exposed me to a world I never dreamed of, creativity without limits, and gave me the tool set to build my ideas.

In my career I've worked in the automotive, golf, and signage industries, along with news networks and social media websites. During this time I had the opportunity to meet some amazingly talented people. I Have always been fascinated with taking an idea and building it into reality.
