Fun Facts

Outside of work, I’m usually with my horse, riding, training, or exploring new trails.On weekends, I often trailer out with friends or camp with my family to ride in new places and soak up the outdoors.

I stay active in my community, volunteering with the LAPD mounted unit and helping organize local events.

If I weren’t in construction, I’d be out in Texas running a ranch and pushing cattle.

One of my favorite quotes is from Will Rogers: “Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.”
