i'm one-half filipino, one-half korean. was born in san diego, raised in seattle during my younger years, than came back to san diego as a teen. after high school, i did not know what i wanted to do with my life, so i decided to take the jump and enlist into the air force for 4 years. although the military lifestyle was not for me, i still enjoyed every aspect of it…i got to experience the best of traveling and meeting new people, not to mention being away for a while gave me a better appreciation for “home.†after leaving the air force, i came home with aspirations to finish school and work full time to support myself. it was hard not having the support of family close by at that time, and my path took a different turn. never making it back to school, and ended up working for a retail company full-time for 7 long years…starting there with no sales or business experience whatsoever, and leaving with all the experience i needed to take my next jump. after contemplating for a good year, i transitioned into the real estate and mortgage industry. i understood the risks involved with a career that is 100% commission, but was ready to do what it takes, without looking back. i am now the branch director for the same mortgage company that i started with. it has been a long road, and sometimes it may take years of hard work to find the right clothes that fit, but i am almost there. i'm driven and determined to follow a firm path that i set. one of those paths was making a conscious decision to quit smoking, evaluating my diet, and spending more time working out and staying fit, which has made a big impact so far...not to mention that it makes me feel good. if you work hard and lead a good lifestyle...good things will happen to you.
i am very laid back, and being an only child, i cherish my time with good friends and family. i'm truly blessed and fortunate to be surrounded by nothing but positive souls in my life, and a truly amazing woman who loves me for who i am...i couldn't ask for more.
