Yes, I found the time to write a summary of my life story! Well, I was born in Gallup, New Mexico. When I was only a couple months old, my family moved to a small town called Show Low, which is located in the White Mountains of Arizona. For the most part I grew up in Show Low, so I suppose you could call it my hometown. From a very young age I developed an interest in cycling. When I was 7 years old I joined my mom on a tandem to complete the Route 66 cycling event and the 50 mile El Tour de Tucson. When I was 10 years old I was on my own, and I completed three 100 mile bicycle races as a member of the Perimeter Bicycling Association of America. The three events were the El Tour de Tucson, El Tour de Phoenix, and the Tour of the Tucson Mountains. Anyways, as I grew up I loved to do many other things, mostly outdoor activities, because in my town there wasn't much else to do. Other interests included activities such as soccer, baseball, football, hiking, camping, backpacking, skiing, waterskiing, cowtipping ... things like that. Yeah, some of the "hotspots" to just chill at in Show Low included the AM/PM and KMart. Those were the best things since indoor plumbing for us. Anyway, I was also a Boy Scout, and became an Eagle Scout at age 13. I was also the Student Body President of Show Low Junior High School. After my freshman year at SLHS the family picked up and moved to Reno, Nevada. Why? I really don't know, but Reno is a cool place...gambling, prostitution....very similar to the show Reno 911. Aside from all that, I do love Reno. Not too small, and not too big (yet)...it is a good place to be. It was in Reno that my love for theatre grew as I had several roles in high school productions. Other activities that I was involved in at Spanish Springs High School included the Academic Olympics Team, Thespian Troupe, National Honor Society, and the National Forensics League. I also graduated Valedictorian. After high school I went to Hawaii Pacific University to study one of my passions since fifth grade, marine biology. I had fun, but after completing a year there I figured out that I'd rather pursue a career in the area of visual communications. Big change, I know, but I have always loved acting, television, movies, mass media, and everything else associated with that field. So I came home, and now I'm currently in my Junior year at the University of Nevada, Reno. I'm currently working towards a B.A. with hopes to turn that into a Bachelors of Fine Arts. I will be focusing on acting. After that? Who knows...masters, Ph.D, barista, smoothie king? Your guess is as good as mine. My family is currently working on opening a new franchise to the Reno area. I'm a business partner in the Trinity Mi Hi Experience, LLC, doing business as Maui Wowi Hawaiian Coffees & Smoothies. We're going to rock this world with flavors that Starbucks, Jamba Juice, and Keva Juice just don't have. Now I'm just wondering where life will take me next.
