Overall I've been told I'm easygoing and fun to be around. I try to work hard and plan ahead for the future but ultimately I'm always looking for a new adventure. Mobile app design is my passion and professionally, I enjoy designing web and mobile app interfaces as well as consulting with startups regarding strategy, marketing, etc.

I'm originally from Southern California but I spent most of my early years growing up in a small town in Texas. After high school I pursued a basketball scholarship at the University of New Hampshire. After graduating from UNH I went on to play professional basketball for a year in Mexico, and most recently finished my graduate degree in business in Nevada.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I've traveled to several countries over the last few years as I'm a member of the El Salvador national team (my Dad is from El Salvador), where I realized just how many amazing people one can meet by getting off of the beaten path. I love getting a fresh perspective by experiencing new cultures while hopefully offering a fresh one to the people I meet as well.
