A Brief Biography

I’ve spent most of my life in Albuquerque, NM, a place I love for its unique character and traditional New Mexican cuisine. I’ve traveled to twelve countries and visited twenty-one U.S. states, but this place will always be home.


I’m a lifelong learner with a passion for knowledge. As a child, I was fascinated by mythology, geology, chemistry, music, and sports. While I enjoyed playing baseball and football with friends, I was also deeply curious and eager to study a wide range of subjects. I explored spiritualism, religion, science, morality, and ethics with the same intensity.


In high school, I scored top marks on college entrance exams, driven by my curiosity and broad interests. I pursued higher education at the University of New Mexico for my undergraduate studies and earned an MBA with a focus on marketing and statistics from the University of Phoenix.


Over time, I’ve come to realize that life is more than work, entertainment, or material pursuits. I seek depth and meaning in my relationships and invest myself fully in my interests, which include Buddhism, Chinese martial arts, music, science, math, communication, and philosophy.


I have a deep appreciation for all forms of art and enjoy observing people in motion. Reading is a sensory experience for me; I love the feel and smell of paper and ink. To me, communication goes beyond speaking—it’s about connecting and understanding through active listening. I believe the essence of a fulfilling life lies in love, activity, relationships, and the joy of being present.
