"To Thine Own Self Be True!"

                                                   - William Shakespeare

​

I am a public relations specialist/multimedia journalist, but that is not what defines me as a person. I am a man of many passions. Journalism has always been one of them, but family, sports, politics and traveling have always played an important role in my life as well. I have been lucky enough to explore many of my passions, and I have experienced some pretty incredible things by simply being open to the opportunities each present.

​

I have studied abroad in Australia where I learned how to surf and experienced a fascinating new culture. I have played soccer in England, climbed cliffs in New Zealand and even traveled the West Coast attending every Arizona State Football away game for a year. I have discovered that life often opens many doors at odd times. Though it may seem ill advised to walk through that door at the time, I gladly do because you never know what you may discover about the world or about yourself with each new experience.

​

That being said, I do believe in working hard, and I gladly do what it takes to get where I want to be in my career. I have always believed that nothing in this world worth having comes easy, and I have no problem putting in the effort to achieve success in both my career and personal life. I will always put forth my best work in whatever situation I find myself in, because I know I will have nothing to regret if I did all that I could to succeed.

​

Simply, I live my life with my heart on my sleeve and I enjoy every moment I am lucky enough to live. Life is too short to be miserable, so I live with open eyes, a full heart, and I try not to take anything for granted. As Tom Hanks said in the motion picture "Castaway"... "Tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide will bring." It is with that same attitude I face each day and situation I find myself in. I always stay positive, because it doesn't matter what the situation is, you never know what the tide will bring.
