About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive grad school, find time to travel, and consider real estate on the moon.

ABOUT ME

I'm a second year grad student at Texas A&M. Got my bachelors there too. I'm a gamer, artist, graphic designer, renderer, CAD monkey, bike rider, and a traveler.

I had the opportunity to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain and it totally changed my life. It created a totally new ambition to broaden my horizons. I love design and architecture, and getting the chance to see it on totally new perspectives, principles, and scales has been absolutely enlightening. My dream is to be able to work in firms all over the world.

Aside from career goals, I am a very sociable person. I have lots of friends, and I'm pretty sure they can all vouch for me when I say I'm a very easy going guy. I like to talk, and I very much enjoy listening. I find it very easy, and very fun, to make new friends.

I am currently a Teaching Assistant in Barcelona and plan on making lots of weekend travels around Europe, so I plan on Couch Surfing quite a bit.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to learn, make friends, and have fun. Also, I wish to build a career path which will allow all of those things to be possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Europe, and designed my first house that will be built within the next few weeks. That's pretty much it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know lots of design software for layouts and architectural drafting/rendering. Some like photoshop, illustrator, CAD, Revit, etc. This is aside from my extensive background in architecture.

I know how to build stuff. From tiny and meticulous site and house models, to chairs and tables as well. I'm a hands-on kinda guy who likes to try it all.

I'm pretty good with computers, trying to learn how to make a cool website to showcase some of my design work. Still a web-design newbie.

I also tutor for spanish. Just for fun, not money. Plus it helps me not forget the language.

I'm a very open minded person and respect all beliefs, whether it be political or religious. I don't really like to take sides on issues, I like to analyze both arguments and find my own solution to everything. Its what i do lol
