I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from High School, I headed to the Midwest to attend Purdue University. After attaining my BS in Restaurant, Hotel, and International Travel (RHIT), I returned to the SF Bay Area, where I worked in the Hotel industry for a couple of years before returning to grad school to complete my MBA. After spending 15 years in the Hospitality Industry, I realized that I have a strong passion to work with people to assist them in achieving their goals and maximizing their full potential. For that reason, I made the transition to the Executive Recruitment industry, where I have spent the past three years. I am achievement orientated in life and am always trying to challenge myself and others to get to the “next level”. I'm definitely not your typical guy... Although I am athletic (Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and body building) I also have a wide range of interests that include the culinary arts, Martial Arts (I practice MA and also teach children’s classes), and horticulture, to mention just a couple. I enjoy going to unique restaurants and then going for a walk with a great companion at sunset! For me a good relationship is one where there is respect and trust with give and take dynamics that allows compromise without too much drama. I have discovered that to truly experience life one must live in the moment. What’s that Saying-Now is all we have”. I look for the positive in all situations to use them to become a stronger person. I'm determined to stay healthy, fit and active now and into the future. I appreciate a well maintained heathy body (mine and yours) and getting outdoors. I think some of the best things in life don't cost a penny! - walking in the rain, a hike in the woods, or walk along the beach are just a few of these.
