About Me


I am tall with a high and tight. My eyes are brown and deep. I am open, fun, honest and hardworking. Born in Hollywood and raised all over California I am very American. I have a strong build and enjoy working out. I joined the Bakuhatsu Taiko Japanese Drumming group in 2005, which was a helluva workout, and kept me in shape.

I graduated from UC Davis, majoring in Law, Society, and Technocultural Media Studies. Class of 2006!! Whoot Whoot!! I like to read, write, and communicate using a variety of unconventional and conventional symbols that convey a multiplicity of meanings. I love a good bar, live music, good food, and good people. But even though I live in Downtown Davis, I rarely go out because most of the time I find that I'd rather be at home playing in my sound lab. I enjoy playing and experimenting with light, sound, and language. Those are the things I enjoy doing for fun. I like having fun in my life because fun makes my life very enjoyable and I like being happy!

I am an academically driven person who loves music and quality in production. Whether it's studio or cinematic, for me captivation depends entirely on the ability of the directors to represent and convey ideas, as well as the integrity of the concepts themselves. I killed so much theory last summer that I can trim way back on challenging theory classes and sub Media studies in my curriculum instead. You will frequently find me up late studying hard.

I wanted to become a CASA volunteer, but enlisted in the ARMY instead. CASA is an acronym that stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. We represent and advocate for, in court, abused and neglected children in Yolo County. We are not a part of CPS, although I will be in contact with the childs social worker, doctors, family members, lawyers, teachers, therapists, and anyone else who is important to the child. Basically it will be my job to perform an investigation and write a report for the judge stating what actions the court should take that I feel would be in the best interest of the child. This could mean recommending evaluative services, ongoing developmental treatment, scheduling optomatrist appointments, basically making sure that the child is recieving the care that they need. Often times the other agencies involved skim on things like this to save money in their budget. boo...these children are often the victems of domestic violence which can leave deep emotional scarring. All parties hope to reunify the family but in the event that the parents fail to meet minimum level of care requirements by the state it is up to the state to decide what, who, or where the child will go live, being permanently displaced. It is also my role to determine if actions like this are necessary. Those are the dependancy cases. In the Delinquency cases we have to consider not only the best interest of the child, but public safety as well.

Now I am in the military. I finished my training and thank goodnes because there as an Initial Entry Training soldier they treat you very poorly. It's berating, degrading, demoralizing, dehumanizing, and humiliating to say the least of their borderline abusive training tactics. I was the leader of a platoon when I was there. So I had the added responsibilities like taking accountability of all my soldiers and knowing where everyone is at all times as well as making sure everyone has what they need when they need it, which was very exhausting.


All this time I've declared my self happily divorced and I still do. But after having been locked away with zero women around me for months, for the first time in years I hear myself saying, "I need a girlfriend".

When i first arrived in Davis, i went out with a bunch of people. We rode our bikes to central park and found a tv. After strapping it to the back of my bike, we hauled it up to the train tracks.
