I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a 27 year old entrepreneur in San Diego. I currently own a health and wellness company called San Diego Bodywork and a small photography operation (sdphotowork.com - coming soon).

I was born and raised in Ohio - a great place to be from. I am a huge Ohio sports fan especially for the Browns and OSU! I went to college @ Washington University in St. Louis and then moved out to San Diego with four great friends.

In San Diego, we opened a record store on 5th Avenue in the middle of downtown called battlemonkey.net. We were open for almost two years before we decided to complete on the project. We had a ton of great experiences and made a lot of awesome friends in the process!

My Interests

Heath, fitness and WATER POLO! I have been interested in the wellness industry ever since I can remember. My mom is a registered nurse and my dad is a pharmaceutical executive - growing up in that environment certainly has it's impact on me. However, the retroactive approach to healthcare was not inspiring to me, so I decided to focus on the preventative (wellness) aspects.

EXERCISE, diet, and proper supplementation are essential for a healthy life. Remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Think about your car, do you take care of your body the same? (i.e. regular oil changes, filling it with good gas, scheduled maintenance - or are you waiting for it to break?)

Music:

i like a wide array of music...primarily focused on electronic music (house, tribal, hip hop). i can listen to just about anything, but country gets old really quick for me! i like to hang downtown @ Aubergine w/ the DJhere crew - they keep it fresh.

Movies:

sci-fi all the way. i really enjoy movies about technology, the future, as well as historical documentaries. comedy is one of my absolute favorites as well. long drawn out dramas usually don't cut it for me :)

Television:

i don't watch a whole lot of TV, unless it is football season, and then you can find me close to a tube on Sundays and Monday night! That show Lost pisses me off!

Books:

The lord of the rings, catcher in the rye, and almost any dungeons and dragons book. i used to play religiously when i was a kid all the time, and my buddies still make it a point to get together once a year and roll the dice. it is incredible fuel for the imagination!

Heroes:

Jim Brown, Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Christopher Columbus, Aristotle
